Manufactured Housing Tenant’s Bill of Rights Act of 2025

S 1194, the Manufactured Housing Tenant’s Bill of Rights Act of 2025, requires owners of manufactured home communities receiving federal loans to include specific tenant protections in lease agreements. It mandates 1-year lease terms with renewal options, 60-day written notice for rent increases (with extended notice for larger hikes), 5-day rent grace periods, and rights for homeowners to sell their homes in place without relocation. The bill also establishes penalties for noncompliance, including fines and loss of future federal financing, and creates a commission to propose stronger future protections. These changes directly affect approximately 1.5 million manufactured home residents nationwide who lease pad sites in federally backed communities.
