Manufactured Housing Tenant’s Bill of Rights Act of 2023
This bill requires owners of manufactured home communities receiving federal loans to include specific tenant protections in all leases. It mandates 1-year lease terms (renewable), 60 days' written notice for rent increases (with extended notice for hikes over 5%), a 5-day rent grace period, and rights to sell homes in place without relocation. Owners failing to comply face penalties including a 2-year ban on future federal financing and mandatory refunds to tenants for violations. The bill also establishes a Commission to develop stronger tenant protections for future loan programs, with no new funding required.
