Cal. Civ. Code § 398.1
Short Title
Operative Text
This act shall be known and may be cited as the Manufactured Home Community Rights Act. (1 amended Oct. 19, 2010, P.L.546, No.80) Compiler's Note: Section 5 of Act 80 of 2010, which amended section 1, provided that Act 80 shall apply to: (1) New sales and leases of manufactured home community spaces entered into after the effective date of section 5. (2) Extensions and renewals of leases of manufactured home community spaces entered into after effective date of section 5.
Section 68 P.S. § 398.1 establishes the official name of Pennsylvania's law governing manufactured home communities: the Manufactured Home Community Rights Act. A 2010 amendment (Act 80) clarified that the Act's updated provisions apply to new space sales and leases, as well as lease extensions and renewals, entered into after the amendment's effective date. The short-title provision itself does not create rights or obligations but sets the legal identity of the statute under which all subsequent sections operate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home communities in Pennsylvania should be aware that the law governing their communities is formally titled the Manufactured Home Community Rights Act, as established by 68 P.S. § 398.1. Because Act 80 of 2010 amended this section, compliance obligations under the updated Act apply to any new leases, sales, or lease renewals and extensions entered into after that amendment's effective date. Compliant operators generally ensure that all community agreements entered into after the effective date are evaluated against the full current requirements of the Act.
