E.   Legislation Considerations

The existing manufactured housing legislation can be improved. The following suggested modifications should be further evaluated for addition to the BOS legislative agenda:

1. Notify the locality of a mobile home park owner’s intent to offer for sale and mobile home park owner receipt of offers to purchase concurrent with Virginia Housing and resident notification.
2. Provide for written resident notification using plain language and when necessary, translated to a language appropriate to promote resident understanding.
3. Increase the time period for residents to submit a park purchase counteroffer from 60 days to 90 days following resident receipt of notification of a park purchase offer.
4. Provide for greater disclosure of key terms of any offer received (potential purchaser, length of due diligence periods, or other).
5. Provide residents with the opportunity to benefit from any due diligence reports in the owner’s possession or received during the consideration process to inform a potential counteroffer from the residents.
6. Add provisions that give the locality a clear right of first refusal to make an offer.
