Establishing certain tenant protections and landlord notice requirements at rental properties

HB 2648 establishes minimum occupancy periods for tenants in mobile home parks and similar factory-built home communities in West Virginia. It requires landlords to provide "good cause" (such as unpaid rent or property damage) to terminate a tenancy, with a 12-month minimum for single-section homes and a 5-year minimum for multi-section homes. This directly affects tenants living in mobile homes, manufactured homes, or modular homes within rental communities, preventing sudden evictions without valid reasons. The bill also defines key terms like "good cause" and "factory-built home" to clarify tenant protections.
