S.P. 367 - L.D. 1068
An Act to Clarify Municipal Obligations to an Unlicensed Mobile Home Park
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 10 MRSA §9090 is enacted to read:
§9090. Municipal foreclosure; unlicensed mobile home parks
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a municipality that, as a result of the nonpayment of property taxes, forecloses and takes possession of real estate on which is located an unlicensed mobile home park may, if the municipality determines the park poses a risk to public health, welfare or safety, close the park and, with at least 30 days' prior written notice, evict the inhabitants of the park. A municipality that takes possession of real estate on which is located an unlicensed mobile home park does not enter a landlord and tenant relationship with any inhabitant of the park and is not subject to the provisions of chapter 953 or any other laws governing relations between a landlord and tenant. This section does not apply to a municipality that is or becomes the licensed operator of the mobile home park.
Effective September 18, 1999, unless otherwise indicated.
