Bill Summary: HB 5345 - Mobile Manufactured Homes

• Repeals and replaces Section 21-64 of general statutes to define "mobile manufactured home" as a detached residential unit with three-dimensional components that are intrinsically mobile, built on or after June 15, 1976, meeting federal standards, and designed for long-term occupancy on rigid supports.

• Establishes 12 definitions related to mobile manufactured homes, including park, space/lot, licensee, resident, dwelling unit, premises, rent, and rental agreement, effective October 1, 2024.

• Requires park owners to amend rental agreements executed on or after October 1, 2024, if requested by a mobile manufactured home owner/purchaser obtaining a mortgage, to extend the lease term for not less than 10 years after mortgage maturity.

• Mandates park owners notify mortgagees of any tenant defaults and provide at least 10 days to cure, and prohibits rental agreement termination while the mortgagee pursues remedies for uncured defaults.

• Allows park owners to collect up to nine months of unpaid rent from the mortgagee after foreclosure judgment, while preserving the right to collect additional outstanding rent from the original owner.
