DelawareBoard may set relocation fund cap based on its costs
The board may set the relocation fund's cap based on its needs, while landlords and tenants each owe half of a monthly lot assessment.
What it does
The board may set or adjust the relocation fund's cap based on the costs reasonably needed to carry out the fund's purposes.
The board sets a monthly assessment for each rented lot in a manufactured home community. Landlords and tenants each owe half.
Argument forManufactured home owners could have more money for legal help because $1.50 from each tenant's monthly assessment goes to their attorney fund.
Argument againstThe $1.50 redirected from each tenant's share could leave less of that assessment available for the relocation fund's purposes.
More detail
The DMHRA Board may set and adjust the cap on the relocation fund. The cap applies to the Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund. The board bases the cap on costs reasonably necessary to carry out the fund's purposes.
The board sets a monthly assessment for each rented lot; the text assigns half to the tenant and half to the landlord. The assessment applies to each rented lot in a manufactured home community. The board may adjust, end, or restart the assessment and must notify landlords and tenants under its regulations. Beginning January 1, 2026, $1.50 from the landlord's share is credited for each rented lot, and $1.50 from the tenant's share is redirected to the Delaware Manufactured Home Owner Attorney Fund.
