HB 1100: Right of First Refusal
Dear MHCW Members,
The 2022 Legislative Session has begun and we are already facing bills that will affect our industry. We need your help to let the Legislature know that we are against these restrictions. Since the 2022 Session is virtual, it is now easier than ever to participate and have your voice heard!
READS: Concerning the sale or lease of manufactured/mobile home communities and the property on which they sit.
- This bill would harm residents by creating “false alarms”; a sale does not necessarily mean a community is closing. By far, most sales occur with the new owners intending to continue as an MHC. Any legislation must be limited to when a community owner voluntarily lists their community with a broker.
- Homeowner’s associations need to be formal, recognized groups registered with the state. Neither HOAs nor any other party should be given an unfair advantage in private property transactions.
- The legislation could significantly limit your private property owners' opportunities to complete a 1031 tax free exchange.
- It unfairly discriminates against just one type of real estate and housing without any data to support the distinction.
- There is no clear definition of what constitutes a “bona fide offer.” This could open the door to fraud and abuse.
- This bill does not protect against harmful, rights-violating activity, but rather damages, or appropriates, property for the benefit of others.
- Our Supreme Court has previously stated that a MH community closure “does not breach any of [the residents] legal rights or entitlements.”
- If enacted as written, it would likely constitute an unconstitutional taking
