Rent-to-own protections now cover mobile homes

The law applies rent-to-own rules to mobile homes. Sellers must inspect the home and certify it meets state maintenance and safety standards. For mobile homes, the home must also meet state mobile-home standards, unless both sides sign a lawful waiver with a stated discount or other fair value. Each contract must name who handles repairs and code compliance. In most cases the seller is responsible unless a legal waiver says otherwise. These changes give mobile-home tenants and buyers clearer rights and help avoid surprise repair costs.
