WV HB4432

Tenants in factory-built home rental communities cannot be considered in default or abandonment during catastrophic events (floods, fires, tornadoes, derechos) outside their control, unless the landlord demonstrates the home site remains available for use

"Rent" definition expanded to explicitly include base rent, utilities, late fees, and other payments made under the rental agreement

Landlords must provide at least 90 days written notice to tenants before any utility rate or charge increases take effect

If a landlord receives less than 90 days notice of a utility rate increase from the provider, they may pass the increase to tenants without prior notice

Single-section factory-built home tenancies cannot be terminated without good cause for 12 months after placement; multi-section homes are protected for five years
