The bill amends various sections of the Revised Code to address issues related to abandoned manufactured homes and the processes surrounding property tax and rental agreements. It introduces new definitions, including "titled owner," which refers to individuals or estates owning a manufactured or mobile home in a park, regardless of their rental agreement status. The bill also clarifies the roles of "tenant," "landlord," and "resident," while deleting previous definitions of "recreational vehicle" and "mobile home" to streamline legal terminology. These changes aim to enhance clarity and efficiency in legal processes related to ownership, rental, and tax implications of manufactured homes.

Additionally, the bill revises eviction procedures, allowing landlords to terminate rental agreements for violations related to controlled substances and clarifying the inclusion of titled owners in eviction proceedings. It establishes new notice requirements for eviction actions and outlines processes for handling deceased residents' estates. The bill also modifies the procedures for park operators dealing with abandoned properties, including the removal and potential sale of these homes without court limitations, and introduces penalties for falsifying information. Overall, the amendments seek to improve the management of abandoned manufactured homes while ensuring the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved are clearly defined.
