A bill for an act relating to property law, including manufactured or mobile home retailer licenses, rent, rental agreements, notice requirements, and possession of property.
HF 973 proposes changes to property law impacting landlords, tenants, and manufactured/mobile home retailers. The bill increases the annual license fee for mobile home retailers and defines "rent" to include various payments beyond base rent. It modifies rules for serving legal notices to tenants, including how mail is counted for completion and allowing door posting with mailing for possession actions. Additionally, the bill extends the "peaceable possession" period from 30 to 90 days and allows landlords to dispose of abandoned personal property (excluding mobile homes) after a tenant's removal. It also restricts landlord access to tenant-owned mobile homes to specific situations like emergencies or securing the property after an eviction.
