HB 5111 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING MOBILE MANUFACTURED HOMES AND MOBILE MANUFACTURED HOME PARKS.

HB 5111 requires mobile manufactured home park owners in Connecticut to create and publicly post an itemized list of all "ancillary fees" (such as maintenance or service fees not included in rent) by October 1, 2025. Park owners must update this list regularly and display it on their website and within the park. The bill also mandates that park owners provide residents with a plain-language disclosure statement summarizing their rights and obligations under the law, developed by the Department of Consumer Protection. This directly affects park owners (who must comply with transparency requirements) and residents (who gain clearer information about fees and their rights). The law aims to increase transparency in mobile home park billing practices.
