Manufactured-Home Help

Do you live in a manufactured home and worry about land rent increases and other fees?

AARP Delaware wants the more than 70,000 First Staters who live in such homes to know about a new resource—the Delaware Manufactured Home Owner Attorney Fund.

Under a recent law supported by AARP, homeowners who believe they are being hit with unfair rate increases on land leases will have access to legal help.

Having a home on rented land can leave owners, especially those on fixed incomes, in a bind if the landlord imposes rent increases or fees.

The new fund, paid for by part of a small fee already levied on owners of manufactured homes, allows them to join together and get legal representation.
