This bill updates Michigan's Mobile Home Commission Act to require park owners to notify residents, the state department, and local governments before selling a mobile home park or changing its land use. For parks without a residents' organization, owners must mail written notice to each resident at least 10 days before a sale closes. If a homeowners' association or cooperative exists, owners must provide written notice to the association's leadership between 30 days and one year before listing the park for sale or making an offer. The law also establishes a process where interested residents can express purchase interest, allowing the association to negotiate directly with the owner and potentially assign those rights to local housing authorities or nonprofits. Additionally, the bill clarifies licensing requirements for new owners and provides a legal avenue for residents to seek damages if an owner fails to provide the required notices.
