SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

Department of Housing and Community Development; manufactured home parks; sample documents. Directs the Department of Housing and Community Development to convene a work group consisting of representatives from the Virginia Housing Development Authority, manufactured home park owners and residents, attorneys with relevant expertise, and other relevant stakeholders for the purposes of developing a sample manufactured home lot rental agreement and sample manufactured home park notices regarding an intent to sell.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Manufactured Home Lot Rental Act; notice of intent to sell. Requires the owner of a manufactured home park who offers or lists the park for sale to a third party to provide written notice of the prospective sale to the locality where the park is located. Under current law, such notice is only required to be sent to the Department of Housing and Community Development. The bill also provides that acceptance of an offer to purchase a manufactured home park is contingent upon the park owner sending written notice of the proposed sale, including certain information listed in the real estate purchase contract, to the locality where the park is located at least 90 days before the closing date. Under current law, such notice is required to be sent only to the Department of Housing and Community Development at least 60 days before the closing date. Additionally, these notices are to be provided to any tenant of the manufactured home park, in clear, understandable language and translated into the tenant's preferred language if the tenant is unable to speak or understand English adequately enough to understand the content of such notice.
