FL S1016

Florida Housing Finance Corporation shall provide technical assistance to mobile home owners' associations in purchasing their mobile home parks, including assistance with issuing bonds through 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.

Mobile home parks are declared an essential element of providing affordable housing in Florida.

When a mobile home park owner changes the land use from mobile home rentals to another use, the homeowners' association must be given written notice and has 45 days to execute a purchase contract at the offered price and terms, with an additional 10 days if a lower price is offered.

Mobile home owners must receive at least 6 months' notice of eviction due to change in use and must be informed in the notice about potential compensation from the Florida Mobile Home Relocation Trust Fund.

Park owners cannot increase lot rental amounts within 90 days before notifying residents of a change in use, and homeowners must object to the change in use within 90 days or be barred from contesting it.
