The Salt Lake Tribune informs MHProNews a measure that unanimously cleared a House of Representatives committee is more favored by MHC residents than by MHC owners. HB143’s sponsor says today’s manufactured homes are expensive to move if someone’s site lease is terminated, and defines acceptable reasons for eviction. It says rules have to be reasonable, and that notification of a pending rent or fee increase be given 90 days in advance instead of the current 60. One MHC manager says she has only had to evict one tenant in 25 years, and that most rules are made by the residents. For a reading of the proposed bill, click here.
