MOBILE HOME-UTILITIES

Sponsored By: Maurice A. West, II (Democratic)

Became Law

Summary

Amends the Mobile Home Landlord and Tenant Rights Act. Provides that a park owner is prohibited from requiring a tenant to pay for utility service in which the public utility company charging for those services includes any service to common areas, other mobile homes, areas used or occupied by persons other than the individual tenant, and persons occupying the same mobile home with the tenant. Provides that a park owner may not request or cause a change in billing in metered utilities during the term of a lease (i) from a tenant to the park owner or landlord or (ii) from the park owner to a tenant. Requires the park owner to provide a minimum of 90 days' notice to each affected tenant before changing the service but no less than 90 days before the expiration of a lease. Allows the park owner and tenant to agree to amend the lease to effect such a change as long as the amendment is in writing and signed by both parties. Provides that any term or condition in a rental agreement between the park owner and the tenant that is inconsistent with the Act is void and unenforceable. Requires park owners to provide detailed copies of monthly utility bills to tenants for utilities paid by the park owner regardless of the metering arrangement.

Mobile home park renters get utility bill cap

The law sets new rules on utility charges in mobile home parks. Park owners cannot make tenants pay for common-area utilities when those areas are separately metered by the utility. If common areas are not separately metered, total tenant charges for those utilities are capped at 80% of what the utility billed the park. Park owners must give renters a yearly written explanation of how each share was calculated. You can ask for copies of the park’s monthly utility bills for any utility charge the park bills separately under this law.
