Bill > HB05725

This bill proposes changes to Connecticut's laws regarding rent increases in mobile manufactured home parks by establishing new protections for residents. Specifically, the bill requires mobile home park owners to provide written notification to residents before implementing any rent increases. Additionally, the bill empowers residents by allowing a majority of affected residents in a mobile manufactured home park to dispute a proposed rent increase through a formal process. If residents disagree with a rent increase, they can first file a written petition to have a mediator appointed to help resolve the dispute. If mediation does not successfully resolve the issue, the bill permits residents to file a complaint in the appropriate superior court. The primary goals of the bill are to prevent excessive rent increases and provide mobile home park residents with a mechanism to challenge rent hikes that they believe are unreasonable, thereby offering more financial protection and a formal dispute resolution process for this vulnerable population of renters.
