Manufactured Housing Tenant’s Bill of Rights Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Manufactured Housing Tenant's Bill of Rights Act of 2023
This bill requires manufactured housing communities and home parks to meet minimum consumer protections to be eligible for certain federally-backed loans for the construction, substantial rehabilitation, or purchase of these communities. Specifically, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is prohibited from insuring such a loan, and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are prohibited from purchasing such a loan, unless a borrower provides specified tenant protections, including
- one-year renewable lease terms, unless there is good cause for nonrenewal;
- at least a 60-day advance notice of any increase in rent, or of a sale or closure of the community;
- a five-day grace period for rent payments; and
- a right for a tenant to sell a manufactured home within a reasonable time period after eviction.
The bill sets forth penalties for violations of these protections.
The bill also establishes the Manufactured Home Company Lending Standards Commission to propose additional consumer protection standards.
