The bill applies to rental agreements that are entered into, extended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2026.
AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends the Manufactured Home Lot Rental Act to require landlords to provide tenants with a copy of their written rental agreement and a statement of tenant rights and responsibilities within 10 business days of the agreement's effective date, a reduction from the current one-month timeframe. It also mandates that landlords include specific language in rental agreements warning tenants that lot rent does not cover homeowner's insurance, which may not include flood insurance, and advises them to obtain separate flood insurance if their property is in a flood-prone area, though failure to provide this notice will not invalidate the rental agreement. Additionally, the bill requires a fee disclosure statement to be prominently displayed on the first page of all written rental agreements.
