SENATE BILL NO. 259 |
|
AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 25 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ASSESSMENTS PAYABLE TO THE DELAWARE MANUFACTURED HOME RELOCATION AUTHORITY. |
Amend Chapter 70 of Title 25 relating to assessments payable to the Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Authority by making deletions as shown by strike through and insertions as shown by underline as follows and redesignate accordingly:
§7012.Delaware Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund [Terminates effective July 1, 2019]
(g) The board of directors of the Authority shall set a $0.50 monthly assessment for deposit in the Trust Fund for each rented lot in a manufactured home community. The purpose of this assessment is to establish a fund from which a home owners association may seek funds for legal expenses in the event that the home owners association is a party in a rent justification arbitration pursuant to 25 Del. C §7044. The board may adjust, eliminate or reinstate the assessment, and shall notify landlords and tenants of each adjustment, elimination or reinstatement pursuant to Board regulations. The landlord shall collect the tenant's portion of the assessment on a monthly basis as additional rent. The landlord shall remit to the Trust Fund the tenant's portion of the assessment on a quarterly basis. The landlord is responsible for safeguarding all assessments it collects. Failure by a tenant to pay to the landlord the tenant's portion of the assessment as additional rent is grounds for termination of the rental agreement pursuant to §7010A of this title and the landlord shall inform the Authority of the name and addresses of any tenant who fails to pay the required assessment. An assessment is not due or collectable for a vacant lot.
