Protecting 14,000 Mobile Home Owners

PATH worked with our sister organizations to win important protections for over 14,000 mobile home owners across the state of Maryland. Mobile home parks are some of the last unsubsidized affordable housing in our communities. The bill requires landowners to provide 10 months of lot rent (approximately $8000) in compensation if the land is sold. This will help residents either buy a new home in another park, or pay for the first month, last month and deposit on an apartment. It took three years to pass in the Statehouse, and was signed into law in 2010.
