Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. Provides that, if the park owner enters into an agreement to sell a mobile home to a prospective tenant or lease it to a prospective tenant with an option to purchase, the prospective tenant may cancel the sale or lease-purchase agreement along with the lease by notifying the park owner in writing within 3 business days after the prospective tenant's execution of the lease. Provides that the park owner shall, within 10 days after receiving the written cancellation, refund all consideration paid by the prospective tenant and cancel any debt relating to the purchase or lease of the mobile home. Provides for automatic lease renewal for 2 years unless certain requirements are met, such as a 30-day notice and a notice of reasons for the non-renewal of the lease. Provides that if the tenant does not accept the landlord's new lease terms that the park owner and tenant or tenant association shall use a State-certified general real estate appraiser, selected by the parties or the court, to prepare an appraisal to determine the appropriate amount for rent and fees. Provides that the appraisal is subject to court review. Makes other changes.
