The Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (“MHCRA”) controls the relationship between those who own manufactured homes and those who own manufactured home communities. The MHCRA deals with the unique issues that arise where people own their homes but rent the land. In March 2011, important new changes to this law became effective, and other amendments have been proposed.
This book and audio CD set provides information about manufactured homes in Pennsylvania, focusing on the rights and duties of home owners and community owners, and on the provisions of the Act.
