Bill > HB1218

This bill modifies regulations for mobile home park sales by establishing clearer guidelines and protections for mobile home sellers and potential buyers. The bill requires park owners to provide specific written notice within 14 days of a seller's intent to sell, detailing any required repairs or improvements, and allows purchasers to assume responsibility for completing these repairs within 60 days of ownership transfer. Park owners must now disclose in writing the specific standards used to evaluate prospective tenants and respond to tenant applications within 14 calendar days, either approving or explaining reasons for denial. The bill also mandates that park owners provide a reliable communication method (email or phone) for sellers to submit inquiries and respond within 2 business days. For mobile home parks with more than 25 units, the bill introduces a financial penalty mechanism where park owners face progressive monthly lot fee reductions (up to 75%) if they repeatedly refuse qualified buyers represented by licensed real estate agents. These provisions aim to increase transparency, fairness, and efficiency in mobile home park sales processes, protecting the interests of both sellers and potential buyers.
