Bill > SB00991

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 412 of the general statutes to limit annual rent increases in mobile manufactured home parks. Specifically, the bill would cap rent increases at one percent plus the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for urban consumers from the previous year. The Consumer Price Index is a measure of the average change in prices paid by urban consumers for goods and services, which is commonly used to track inflation. By tying rent increases to this economic indicator and adding a modest fixed percentage, the bill aims to provide some predictability and protection for mobile home park residents against potentially significant rent hikes. This type of legislation is often intended to help maintain affordable housing for residents of mobile home parks, who may have limited housing options and can be vulnerable to rapid increases in living costs.
