BILL NUMBER:S4761
Title of bill
An act to amend the real property law, in relation to manufactured home park owners and change in the use of the land comprising such manufactured home park
Purpose
This legislation builds upon the provisions of the Real Property Tax Law relating to the rights of manufactured home park homeowners' associations or the tenants thereof that arise at the time of sale of a manufactured home park by limiting the ability of manufactured home park owners to vacate a park and then selling it without specifying a reason for a change in the use of the land comprising the manufactured home park.
Summary of provisions
Subparagraph (i) of paragraph 6 of subdivision b of Section 233 of the Real Property Law, as amended by Chapter 561 of the Laws of 2008, is amended to require specific documentation be included with the written notice a manufactured home park owner or operator provides when alerting home owners of a proposed change in the use of the land comprising a manufactured home park and that alternative accommodations need to be secured. It also amends Section 233-a of the Real Property Tax Law to further protect the rights of manufactured home park homeowners.
Justification
This legislation would protect the rights of manufactured homeowners from being evicted from a manufactured home park without knowing the specified intent of a proposed change in the use of the land in which their home is situated. Under current law, manufactured home park owners or operators must provide manufactured home owners written notice of a proposed change of use and alternative accommodations need to be secured. Eviction proceedings based on a change in use cannot be commenced until six months has passed from the date in which the notice was served, or the end of the lease term whichever is later.
This legislation would require the manufactured home park owner or operator to include with the written notice of a proposed change of use a description of the proposed change of use and a copy of all applications required to affect such change of use submitted to the local government with jurisdiction. It further provides that eviction proceedings cannot be commenced until such applications have been approved by the local government.
