Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to housing; modifying provisions for rent increases for manufactured home park lot rentals; amending Minnesota Statutes 2024, sections 327C.02, subdivision 5; 327C.06, subdivisions 1, 3.

AI Summary

This bill modifies regulations for rent increases in manufactured home parks, providing several key protections for residents. The legislation reduces the number of permissible rent increases from two to one per year and requires park owners to provide a written explanation for any rent increase, with at least 60 days' notice before implementation. Additionally, the bill mandates that rent increases must be reasonable, shifting the burden of proof to the park owner to demonstrate the reasonableness of the proposed increase. The bill also preserves residents' existing rights, such as protection from eviction for complaining to park owners or government officials, and maintains provisions about park rules and resident notifications. Rent increases approved by a resident-owned cooperative are presumed reasonable under the new law. The changes will take effect on August 1, 2025, and will apply to rent increases occurring on or after that date, giving park owners and residents time to prepare for the new requirements.
