Bill Summary

Manufactured Home Lot Rental Act. Requires landlords subject to the Manufactured Home Lot Rental Act to include, on the first page of a written lot rental agreement, an itemization of all charges to the tenant, along with a statement that states: "No additional security deposits or rent shall be charged unless such security deposits or rent are listed below or incorporated into this rental agreement by way of a separate addendum after the execution of this rental agreement." The bill also prohibits, with certain exceptions, any owner or operator of a manufactured home community from increasing the annual lot rent of a tenant at the time of renewal if the manufactured housing community has received a notice of violation of zoning, building, or fire code or an inspection report listing violations of habitability from the locality where the community operates and the notice of violation remains unresolved. Lastly, the bill requires any manufactured home community operating in the Commonwealth to register with the Department of Housing and Community Development.

AI Summary

This bill, amending the Manufactured Home Lot Rental Act, mandates that landlords must provide a clear itemization of all charges to tenants on the first page of any written rental agreement, accompanied by a statement that no other fees will be charged unless listed or in a separate signed contract; violations of this provision will be treated as violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. Furthermore, it prohibits manufactured home park owners or operators from raising annual lot rent upon renewal if the community has unresolved zoning, building, or fire code violations, or habitability issues reported by the local government. Finally, all manufactured home communities operating in Virginia will be required to register with the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), a state agency responsible for housing and community development, and may be subject to a registration fee and penalties for non-compliance.
