AI Summary

SB14-010: Manufactured Home Communities Act

  • Renames the "Mobile Home Park Act" to the "Manufactured Home Communities Act" and updates terminology throughout to refer to "manufactured homes" and "manufactured home communities" instead of "mobile homes" and "mobile home parks"

  • Strengthens tenant protections by requiring personal service of notice to quit (or posting and mailing if personal service fails), extending the eviction timeline from 48 hours to 5 days, and allowing tenancy reinstatement if home owners pay all rent and court costs within 5 days of judgment

  • Increases rent increase restrictions to once per year (on lease anniversary) with 90 days' notice, specifies a 30-day cure period for lease violations, and prohibits tenancy termination solely due to fixed lease expiration

  • Establishes a 90-day notice requirement before community sale, requires owners to negotiate in good faith with homeowner associations or cooperatives, and extends change-of-use notice from 180 days to 24 months (or allows payment of relocation costs as alternative)

  • Extends protections for community sales to associations and cooperatives, permits technical assistance for resident ownership efforts, and treats manufactured homes as real property when owners elect to do so regardless of land lease versus fee simple ownership
