Rent and utility payments, fees, and charges in manufactured home parks standards provision, certain safety inspections requirement provision, and sale of manufactured home parks sale provision modifications

This bill modifies Minnesota laws governing manufactured home parks to improve transparency and fairness in rent, utility billing, and park management. It directly affects park owners and residents by establishing clearer rules for how fees and charges are calculated and disclosed. Key provisions require rent increases to be limited to one per year with a three percent cap, mandate itemized utility bills, and restrict fees based on family size or home characteristics. The legislation also sets standards for safety inspections, including tree hazard removal timelines, and clarifies the role of resident representatives in park purchases.
