The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5725, aims to amend chapter 412 of the general statutes concerning rent increases in mobile manufactured home parks. The bill introduces several key provisions: it mandates that park owners provide written notification to residents regarding any rent increase, allows a majority of affected residents to file a written petition to dispute the rent increase, and enables the appointment of a mediator to help resolve disputes. If mediation fails, the bill permits residents to file a complaint in the appropriate superior court.
The purpose of this legislation is to protect residents from excessive rent increases and to establish a formal process for disputing such increases. By requiring notification and providing avenues for mediation and legal recourse, the bill seeks to enhance the rights of residents in mobile manufactured home parks and ensure fair treatment regarding rent adjustments.
