Good morning!  We are now on day 7 of the 2016 Oregon Legislative Session - 28 days left.

 

MHCO has been monitoring several bills.  The most significant is HB 4143, now referred to as the renter protection bill".  This bill is the legislature's response to the Portland housing crisis that has been the focus of the media over the past 6 months.

 

For the most part this bill does not impact manufactured home communities.  MHCO has worked to include an amendment that would exempt RV's from the proposed legislation. We expect that the amendment will be accepted by the Legislature and RV's will be exempt from the new laws.  If the dash 7 amendment is adopted the only impact on manufactured home communities will be on landlords who own homes in their community.  If you own a home in a MHC and rent it out the "no cause" notice increases from 60 days to 90 days.
