SB412 Alabama 2013 Session

Under existing law, the Uniform Residential Landlord-Tenant law is limited to the rental of premises owned by a landlord. There are no specific provisions specifying the rights and responsibilities of tenants and landlords in circumstances in which the landlord rents real property to a tenant for the placement of a manufactured home owned by the tenant

This bill would create the Alabama Manufactured Home Landlord-Tenant Act to specify the rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants of manufactured home communities

This bill would require landlords to disclose all fees, charges, assessments, and rules to a tenant prior to occupancy in a manufactured home community, would provide certain restrictions on the sale or removal of a manufactured home in a manufactured home community, and would place certain restrictions on the sale of a manufactured home community

This bill would provide procedures for the eviction of a tenant and would provide for the disposal of a manufactured home and personal property abandoned by a tenant

This bill would provide procedures for the adoption of mobile home community rules

This bill would specify remedies for the breach of a lease agreement and would provide for the defense of warranty of habitability in certain actions against a tenant

This bill would provide penalties for the late payment of rent and would provide for the disposition of security deposits paid by a tenant

This bill would specify remedies for a landlord's breach of the implied warranty and covenant of habitability

This bill would also specify the rights of a landlord and tenant upon the occurrence of a casualty loss in a manufactured home community
