Summary
This bill requires manufactured housing communities and home parks to meet minimum consumer protections to be eligible for certain federally-backed loans for the construction, substantial rehabilitation, or purchase of these communities. Specifically, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is prohibited from insuring such a loan, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are prohibited from purchasing such a loan, unless a borrower provides specified tenant protections, including
- one-year renewable lease terms, unless there is good cause for nonrenewal;
- at least a 60-day advance notice of any increase in rent, or of a sale or closure of the community;
- a five-day grace period for rent payments; and
- a right for a tenant to sell a manufactured home within a reasonable time period after eviction.
The bill sets forth penalties for violations of these protections.
