Bill > HF4811

This bill modifies eviction proceedings for manufactured home park residents by extending the stay of a writ of recovery, which is a court order allowing a landlord to regain possession of a property, from seven days to 90 days to allow residents time to move their homes or sell them within the park. It also mandates that residents have ten days after the writ is issued to remain in their homes and 28 days to remove personal property, and requires park owners to notify any known lienholders of the writ within 15 days. Furthermore, the bill requires park owners to include specific language in eviction notices informing residents of their right to any surplus money from the sale of their home after outstanding rent, utility charges, liens, and lawful fees are paid, provided the resident supplies contact information. If a park owner acquires and sells a resident's home, the proceeds must first cover what the resident owes the park and any liens, with any remaining surplus to be returned to the former resident within 30 days of them providing contact information. Finally, the bill repeals a previous provision regarding conditional writs of recovery, which allowed for a longer period to sell a home within the park under specific conditions.
