One other issue arises if ownership in the mobile home is transferred and the relationship becomes a rental agreement. The elderly person looses rights. The manufactured housing statutes grant more rights to the owner of the home due to the recognition that it is harder to move the home compared to just moving occupancy. This assumes that the elderly person rents the space for the home. If its a coop or something other, the act does not apply. Compare the two acts and be ready to explain the differences so that the current owner will not get short changed. Some remainder interest in the personality is a stronger position. There is a great CLE at the KCBA volunteer web training seminar site. It is put on by the housing justice project.
