## Provisions PRIA read

- Stronger tenant rights in manufactured home parks: benefit, high. If enacted, and starting 180 days later, leases for pad sites in covered parks would need key protections. You would get a renewable one‑year lease, 60 days’ written notice with reasons for new charges or rent hikes, a 5‑day grace period, and 15 days to cure rent defaults. Bigger rent hikes would n…
- Standard site lease to unlock mortgages: benefit, medium. If enacted, the housing regulator would work with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to create a standard site‑lease within one year. Using this lease could help make mortgages on homes in parks eligible for purchase by those entities. That could make it easier for some homeowners to get loans.
- Commission to propose tenant standards: benefit, low. If enacted, a 16‑member commission would form and hold public hearings. It would propose consumer‑protection standards for these loans and send them to Congress and agencies within one year. The commission would end after it files its report.
- Defines which loans and parks count: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would define key terms so people know what is covered. It would spell out which federal loan programs and which manufactured homes and parks count, including homes built before federal safety standards.
- Public list of protected communities: benefit, low. If enacted, HUD and the housing regulator would post one public website listing communities covered by these protections. The list would also show parks that already have Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac protections and explain how those differ from the bill’s minimum.
- Stricter loan rules for park owners: cost, medium. If enacted, and starting 180 days after enactment, park owners using certain federal loan programs would need to certify their leases include the required tenant protections and submit proof, including a standard lease. Any pricing discounts on these loans could only reward protections stronger tha…
- No new money to implement: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would not add new funding. HUD and the housing regulator would need to use existing money to carry out the bill. That could slow or limit implementation.
