Now we are going to push for 2 year closure notification when parks are sold or
closed. MHOA is working with the LAT on rent justification and manager
certification and is actively fighting any efforts by the park owners to overturn
RCW 59.30 (Dispute Resolution Program Bill.  Your LAT is also looking at
making some language changes to the RCW 59.20 Landlord/Tenant Act to clarify
some of the grey areas where there is a problem trying to figure out what the law
means or it is ambiguous.  You will be notified when we submit the bills and when
the hearings will be held.

IF YOU HAVE AN EMAIL PLEASE SUBMIT IT TO THE MHOA OFFICE (mhoa2002@donobi.net) OR
