House approves changes to Mobile Home Park Residency Act, sends second substitute HB 263 to Senate
Summary
Second substitute HB 263 passed the House 68‑0 after sponsors said the bill clarifies tenant notice and cure periods, protects tenant meetings on amenity changes, and creates a tiered schedule for required tenant improvements.
Representative Wayne Harper presented second substitute House Bill 263, describing the measure as a negotiated compromise that preserves both mobile‑home owners' rights and park owners' property interests. The substitute clarifies required lease disclosures about termination rights, requires a tenant meeting if a park owner proposes amenity changes, and keeps a 7‑day cure period for many lease violations while exempting immediate eviction for serious misconduct (e.g., distributing drugs to minors, falsifying applications).
The bill adds a tiered schedule for owner‑required improvements, giving tenants 90 days to comply for costs between $250 and $2,000 and 120 days for repairs over $2,000, and retains expedited eviction authority for criminal conduct. Representative Harper said the package was agreed to by owners, tenants and interest groups.
The House recorded Second Substitute House Bill 263 as having received 68 yes votes and 0 no votes; the bill passed the body and was transmitted to the Senate for further consideration.
