The act establishes and clarifies financial protections for mobile home park residents. The act requires a landlord of a mobile home park to notify residents when the landlord is temporarily prohibited from increasing rent.
     Under current law, a landlord is required to send notice to residents when the landlord intends to sell the mobile home park. The act adds to the information that must be included in the notice that the landlord sends to residents of the park to include a statement that the landlord must provide additional information and documentation to a home owner upon request by the home owner, including:
The basis of the purchase price, such as aggregate rental data, rent projections, and recent appraisals of the property;
Disclosure of the age of major infrastructure in the mobile home park;
Documentation of any infrastructure inspections, maintenance, and repair services from the previous 3 years;
The most up-to-date rent roll and any documentation related to rents, charges, outstanding balances, and the vacancy rate; and
The operating expenses and income for the park from the previous 3 years.
     The act requires that, for a potential sale of a mobile home park that is a portfolio sale including real property or structures located outside of the mobile home park, the price, terms, or conditions of the proposed sale, including for the real property or structures located outside of the park, must be made available to the home owners of the park, even if the home owners submit an offer to purchase only the park.
     The act requires the landlord and any potential buyer to conduct the sale of the mobile home park at arms-length and in good faith. The act establishes certain parameters related to the registration fee that must be paid by a landlord of a mobile home park and limits the amount that the landlord may charge each resident to cover the registration fee at $17.
