Mobile Home Park Operator? Watch Out!

Mobile home renters have practically attained protected status under Michigan law. As of this writing, they are protected by no fewer than five sets of rules: Michigan Truth-in-Renting Act, Michigan Security Deposit Act, Michigan Consumer Protection Act, Michigan Mobile Home Commission Act, and Michigan Mobile Home Commission Act Rules and Regulations. And those last two (the MHCA and rules) are pretty lengthy.

These tenants, incidentally, are often favorite clients of Legal Aid, which means, if they sue you, they might be doing it free.
