Manufactured Housing Tenant’s Bill of Rights Act of 2025

# Manufactured Housing Tenant's Bill of Rights Act of 2025 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would establish new federal protections for people who rent manufactured homes (also called mobile homes) in manufactured housing communities. Currently, these tenants have limited federal protections compared to traditional renters. The bill aims to create a "Tenant's Bill of Rights" that would set minimum standards for how manufactured housing communities treat their residents, similar to protections that exist in other rental housing contexts. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill would primarily affect manufactured home residents, who are often lower-income Americans living in manufactured housing communities.

While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available summary, tenant bills of rights typically address issues like eviction procedures, rent increase limits, maintenance and safety standards, and dispute resolution processes. Manufactured housing communities would need to comply with these new federal standards. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. At this stage, the bill remains in the early legislative process.
