FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business
This proposal would affect small businesses which are manufactured housing dealers. Those dealers would be required to provide written notices signed by purchasers of used manufactured homes.
DESCRIPTION
This proposal would require mobile home park landlords to provide tenants who own their homes 180 days notice when requiring the tenants to move due to a change in use. During the 180 period, the landlord could not increase rents except for increases based upon increased property taxes.
Manufactured home dealers or manufacturers could have licenses suspended or revoked for failing to provide notice to purchasers of used manufactured homes that the Public Service Commission does not regulate setup of used manufactured homes.
This proposal would give a landowner a lien against an abandoned manufactured home for unpaid rent and specify procedures for enforcing that lien. A perfected lienholder would not be entitled to a certificate of title from the Department of Revenue until the lienholder has paid all rent it is obligated to pay under terms of this proposal.
The proposal also sets out processes and procedures for landowners to get certificates of title on manufactured homes on which they have liens. These procedures allow owners of manufactured homes chances to challenge liens in court and to redeem homes subject to liens.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. This legislation would not affect Total State Revenue.
