The Short Version
This bill strengthens protections for mobile home owners selling homes within parks by requiring park owners to disclose approval criteria, provide repair lists within 14 days, maintain seller communication access, and reduce monthly lot fees by up to 75% after repeatedly denying qualified buyers in parks with 25+ units. The changes aim to reduce park owner discretion and create financial pressure on parks to approve sales.
