MHC Meeting – Focus on Marinas – Tigard

Don’t let the name confuse you – THESE ARE THE PEOPLE who meet monthly to discuss YOUR RIGHTS as a FLOATING HOME OWNER.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MEETING FOR MARINA RESIDENTS.

Oregon law addresses floating home owner rights similarly to manufactured home park residents (who own their home but lease the park space) in about 95% of the law.

The Manufactured Housing Coalition (MHC) has primarily been the group in charge of drafting legislation pertaining to floating home owners in rental marinas since the late 1990s.  Due to a set of similar circumstances between floating home owners who own their homes but rent their slips & manufactured homeowners who own their homes but rent the lot in a manufactured dwelling park, the MHC (despite the name) consists of manufactured homeowners, park owners/managers, park attorneys, floating homeowners, and marina owners/managers.  Floating home owner/residents are encouraged to participate and have your voice heard.

MHC currently meets approximately once a month in Salem or Tigard – marina landlords and tenants are always invited to share issues that are of legislative concerns for them.

Marina owners regularly attend these meetings and weigh in on important issues for them. The marina landlord voices are well-represented.

Floating home owners have not participated regularly in this open meeting for years, hence the recent legislation has not been able to hear their voices.

Key legislative initiatives are now being discussed at the April 17th meeting that will affect floating home ownership and your rights. Click here for the April 17th Agenda Discussion List.

While it is best to participate in person and conference calls can be difficult to follow when 30 people are talking together in a room, sometimes you just cannot make it.
