Ex. Summary:
House Bill 24-1294 introduces comprehensive reforms to mobile home park regulations, strengthening tenant protections, landlord accountability, and dispute resolution processes. The legislation restricts entry fees, expands the definition of mobile home parks, and requires multilingual notices to improve accessibility. It enhances protections against retaliatory actions, establishes clear rules for rent-to-own agreements, and grants tenants the right to challenge burdensome rule changes. Courts now have the authority to halt rent increases or issue refunds if landlords violate fair housing laws. Additionally, landlords must maintain habitable conditions and provide emergency water and sanitation services during disruptions. These reforms ensure greater fairness, transparency, and stability for mobile home park residents while increasing government oversight of landlord practices.
