What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the owner of a mobile or manufactured home community (community) to provide notice to tenants in the community before selling it or changing its use and gives tenants the right to purchase the community under those circumstances.
Under the bill, a community owner must give written notice at least 12 months before closing the community or changing the use of the community. A community owner must also give written notice if the owner lists the community for sale, receives an offer to purchase the community, or is served with a foreclosure complaint for the community. Notice must be provided to all adults who occupy a mobile or manufactured home within the community (resident). The notice must also be posted in a conspicuous public place within the community and must include a description of residents' rights, as described in the bill, and pertinent sale information, such as the price and terms of any offer received by the community owner.

Under the bill, after providing the required notice, the community owner must provide residents 90 days to make an offer to purchase the community and secure financing. If residents make an offer to purchase and secure financing, the community owner must provide residents an additional 90 days to close on the purchase of the community.
The bill requires a community owner to negotiate with residents in good faith for a purchase agreement and to allow residents a commercially reasonable due diligence period and access to information necessary to make an informed decision regarding the purchase. The bill also allows residents to assign their right to purchase the community to a local or state government, tribal government, state agency, housing authority, or nonprofit organization with housing expertise for the purpose of continuing the use of the community.
Under the bill, a community owner is not required to provide notice, and no right to purchase arises, if the owner sells, transfers, or conveys the community in good faith to certain persons, including a spouse, certain family members, a joint tenant, or a business controlled by the owner.
