2017 House Bill 1514: Requiring a minimum of three years' notice on closures or conversions of mobile home parks and manufactured housing communities
Introduced by Rep. June Robinson (Everett) (D) on January 23, 2017
Referred to the House Judiciary Committee on January 23, 2017
Substitute offered in the House on February 16, 2017
Requires, with limited exceptions, that a landlord under the Manufactured/Mobile Home Landlord Tenant Act provide three years notice of closure or conversion.
Amendment offered by Rep. June Robinson (Everett) (D) on February 27, 2017
Makes all of the references to the length of the required closure notice consistent at 18 months, correcting a drafting error that changed some but not all of the references from 3 years to 18 months. Reinstates current law that requires the landlord to provide a 3-year covenant to continue the current use or include a statement that the mobile home park or manufactured housing community may be closed after the required closure notice period has passed. (The underlying bill had stricken the covenant alternative in light of the fact that the required closure notice and the covenant were both set at the same 3 years.).
The amendment passed by voice vote in the House on February 27, 2017
