Assembly Bill 424 proposes significant amendments to the statutes governing the rental of mobile and manufactured homes in Wisconsin. The bill redefines key terms such as "resident" and "occupant," clarifying that a resident is someone who rents a site and owns the home on it, while an occupant is someone who resides in a home with the resident's consent. It also stipulates that rental requirements do not apply to individuals living in a mobile home without the owner's presence. Additionally, the bill mandates that community operators provide at least 90 days' written notice before permanently retiring a community or site from the rental market and allows for month-to-month leases if a resident or occupant fails to sign a lease renewal.

Furthermore, the bill expands the grounds for terminating tenancies, allowing for termination if a resident or occupant fails to submit a signed lease or violates community rules regarding home ownership limits. It also modifies the definition of "community" to include any plot with at least three occupied homes, excluding certain farm situations. The bill aims to enhance the rights and responsibilities of both residents and operators within mobile home communities, ensuring clearer regulations and protections for all parties involved.
