The bill revises laws related to mobile home parks, specifically addressing rental agreements, the disposal of abandoned mobile homes, and eviction timelines. It amends Section 70-33-201 to establish that rental agreements can be for a minimum of one year, with landlords required to offer tenants a renewal agreement of at least two years 60 days before the current agreement expires. Additionally, it specifies that the rental value must include utility fees unless otherwise agreed upon. The bill also modifies the eviction process by stipulating that landlords cannot initiate eviction proceedings until 45 days after a final notice is received, and sheriffs cannot execute eviction orders for 30 days following a court's order.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 70-33-432 regarding the disposal of abandoned mobile homes, increasing the notice period from 15 to 30 days before a landlord can dispose of a mobile home. It requires landlords to notify local law enforcement and make reasonable efforts to determine if the mobile home is encumbered. The bill also clarifies the landlord's lien on the mobile home for costs associated with removal, storage, and sale. Overall, these changes aim to provide greater protections for tenants while also streamlining processes for landlords in managing mobile home tenancies.
