   1.  If the seller of a manufactured or mobile home fails to deliver a certificate of title duly assigned to the purchaser of the manufactured or mobile home or if the seller, in an installment sales contract, fails to deliver a copy of the seller’s certificate of title to the purchaser of the manufactured or mobile home within thirty days following execution of the contract, the purchaser may within two years of the execution of the contract bring an equitable action in the district court of record where the real estate is located to obtain relief as follows:
   a.  The court may rescind a contract that remains in existence at the time the action is commenced and award restitution to the purchaser determined in accordance with the standards for damages specified in paragraph “b”.
   b.  If the contract has been terminated by any means prior to commencement of the action, the purchaser may recover a money judgment against the seller for a sum equal to all amounts the purchaser paid to the seller, plus the reasonable value of any improvements to the manufactured or mobile home made by the purchaser, plus any other proximately caused or incidental damages, less the fair rental value of the manufactured or mobile home for the period of time the purchaser was in possession of the manufactured or mobile home.

   1.  A tenant is considered to have abandoned a mobile home when the tenant has been absent from the mobile home without reasonable explanation for thirty days or more during which time there is either a default of rent three thirty days after rent is due, or the rental agreement is terminated pursuant to section 562B.25. A tenant’s return to the mobile home does not change its status as abandoned unless the tenant pays to the landlord all costs incurred for the mobile home space, including costs of removal, storage, notice, attorney fees, and all rent and utilities due and owing.
   Sec. 17.  Section 562B.27, subsection 2, paragraph a, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   a.  If a tenant abandons a mobile home on a mobile home space, the landlord shall notify the mobile home owner or other claimant of the mobile home and communicate to that person that the person is liable for any costs incurred for the mobile home space, including rent and utilities due and owing. A claimant includes a holder of a lien as defined in section 555B.2. However, the person is only liable for costs incurred ninety days before the landlord’s communication. After the landlord’s communication, costs for which liability is incurred shall then become the responsibility of the mobile home owner or other claimant of the mobile home. The mobile home shall not may be removed from the mobile home space without a signed written agreement from the landlord showing clearance for removal, and that all debts are paid in full, or an agreement reached with the by the mobile home owner or other claimant and the landlord prior to disposal or removal of the mobile home under chapter 555B, unless otherwise prohibited under chapter 648. Removal of the mobile home shall not, however, affect any claim for amounts due or owing to the landlord, tenant, or other claimant.
   Sec. 18.  Section 562B.31, subsection 2, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   2.  If the landlord makes an unlawful entry or a lawful entry to the mobile home space in an unreasonable manner or makes repeated demands for entry otherwise lawful but which have the effect of unreasonably harassing the tenant, the tenant may obtain injunctive relief to prevent the recurrence of the conduct or terminate the rental agreement. In either case, the tenant may recover actual damages not less than an amount equal to one month’s rent to be awarded to the tenant plus attorney fees to be awarded to the tenant’s attorney.
   Sec. 19.  Section 562B.32, subsection 2, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   2.  If the landlord acts in violation of subsection 1 of this section, the tenant is entitled to the remedies provided in section 562B.24 and has a defense in an action for possession. In an action by or against the tenant, evidence of a complaint within six twelve months prior to the alleged act of retaliation creates a presumption that the landlord’s conduct was in retaliation. The presumption does not arise if the tenant made the complaint after notice of termination of the rental agreement. For the purpose of this subsection, “presumption” means that the trier of fact must find the existence of the fact presumed unless and until evidence is introduced which would support a finding of its nonexistence.
   Sec. 20.  Section 562B.32, subsection 3, paragraph b, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   b.  The tenant is in default of rent three thirty days after rent is due. The maintenance of the action does not release the landlord from liability under section 562B.22, subsection 2.
   Sec. 21.  Section 648.3, subsection 1, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   1.  Before action can be brought under any ground specified in section 648.1, except subsection 1, three days’ notice to quit must be given to the defendant in writing. However, a landlord who has given a tenant three days’ notice to pay rent and has terminated the tenancy as provided in section 562A.27, subsection 2, or who has given a tenant thirty days’ notice to pay rent and has terminated the tenancy as provided in section 562B.25, subsection 2, if the tenant is renting the manufactured or mobile home or the land from the landlord, may commence the action without giving a three-day notice to quit.
   Sec. 22.  Section 648.22, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   648.22  Judgment —— execution —— costs.
   1.  If the defendant is found guilty, judgment shall be entered that the defendant be removed from the premises, and that the plaintiff be put in possession of the premises, and an execution for the defendant’s removal within three days from the judgment shall issue accordingly, to which shall be added a clause commanding the officer to collect the costs as in ordinary cases.
   2.  In cases covered by chapter 562B, the order entering judgment shall include information describing the powers and duties of the plaintiff and defendant under section 648.22A in a form and in the manner prescribed by the attorney general.

   Sec. 25.  Section 714.8, subsection 20, Code 2011, is amended to read as follows:
   20.  A contract seller who intentionally provides inaccurate information with regard to any matter required to be disclosed under section 558.70, subsection 1, section 558.72, subsection 1, or section 558A.4.
   Sec. 26.  APPLICABILITY.  This Act applies to rental agreements and contracts entered into, extended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2011.
EXPLANATION
   This bill relates to manufactured and mobile home landlord and tenant laws, required disclosures during the sale of manufactured and mobile homes, and actions for forcible entry and detainer.
   The bill increases from $10 to $500 the penalty imposed on a manufactured or mobile home retailer who acquires a used mobile home or manufactured home, titled in Iowa, and who does not apply for and obtain a certificate of title from the county treasurer of the manufactured or mobile home retailer’s county of residence within 30 days of the date of acquisition.
   The bill enacts new Code section 558.72, which establishes a required disclosure statement for use in the sale of manufactured homes and mobile homes. The bill provides that prior to the sale of a manufactured or mobile home, the seller shall deliver a written disclosure statement, on a form prescribed by the attorney general, to the purchaser which sets forth information relating to the property tax status and special assessments for the manufactured or mobile home and any real estate that is part of the sale, a description of any mortgages or other liens encumbering or secured by the manufactured or mobile home or the real estate, a schedule for all payments to be made under the sales contract, if applicable, information relating to any balloon payments to be made under the contract, if applicable, and the annual percentage rate of interest to be charged under the sales contract, if applicable. The disclosure statement must also include a statement that the purchaser has a right to seek independent legal counsel concerning the sale and any applicable sales contract, include a statement that the purchaser has a right to receive a true and complete copy of any applicable sales contract after it has been executed by all parties to the contract, include the mailing address of each party to the sale or applicable sales contract, and, if the contract is an installment sales contract and is subject to forfeiture, include a statement that if the purchaser does not comply with the terms of the contract, the purchaser may lose all rights in the manufactured or mobile home, any real estate that is part of the contract, and all sums paid under the contract. The bill requires the seller and purchaser to sign and date the disclosure statement and requires the seller to provide a copy of the disclosure statement immediately following receipt of the purchaser’s signature. The bill also provides for specific mailing instructions for certain contract sellers if the sale of the manufactured or mobile home involves an installment sales contract. The bill provides that an installment sales contract purchaser under new Code section 558.72 has all applicable rights provided under Code section 558.71, relating to installment sales contracts for residential real estate. The bill provides that certain financial institutions, lenders, insurance companies, and licensed real estate brokers are exempt from the disclosure statement requirements. The new disclosure statement requirements do not limit or abridge any duty, requirement, obligation, or liability for disclosure created by any other provision of law, or under a contract between the parties. The bill provides that a violation of new Code section 558.72 is an unlawful practice pursuant to Code section 714.16 (consumer frauds).
   The bill provides that if the seller of a manufactured or mobile home fails to deliver a certificate of title duly assigned to the purchaser of the manufactured or mobile home or if the seller in an installment sales contract fails to deliver a copy of the seller’s certificate of title to the purchaser within 30 days following execution of the contract, the purchaser may within two years of the execution of the contract bring an equitable action to obtain recision of the contract and recover certain amounts paid to the purchaser. If a purchaser obtains relief, the court is required to award costs of the action to the purchaser and reasonable attorney fees to the purchaser’s attorney.
   The bill amends Code section 103A.55 to include the failure of a manufactured or mobile home retailer, manufactured or mobile home manufacturer, or manufactured or mobile home distributor to provide the purchaser with the disclosure statement in compliance with new Code section 558.72, as grounds to revoke, suspend, or refuse the license of such retailer, manufacturer, or distributor.
   The bill provides that a contract seller who intentionally provides inaccurate information with regard to any matter required to be disclosed under new Code section 558.72, is guilty of a fraudulent practice. The penalties for the crime of fraudulent practice range from a simple misdemeanor to a class “C” felony.
   The bill provides that a violation by a landlord of any applicable requirement of division I, II, or IV of Code chapter 562B is an unlawful practice pursuant to Code section 714.16 (consumer frauds).
   The bill requires mobile home space rental agreements to be for a term of at least one year.
   The bill provides that a landlord must have good cause before terminating a mobile home space rental agreement under Code section 562B.10(4) and must provide the tenant 14 days to remedy the violation or noncompliance before terminating the agreement for good cause. The bill defines “good cause” as a violation of Code chapter 562B by the tenant, a legitimate business reason the impact of which is not specific to one tenant, a material violation of the manufactured home community or mobile home park rules or regulations, a change in the use of the land if change in use of the land is included in the rental agreement as a ground for termination, or a material noncompliance with the rental agreement by the tenant.
   The bill amends a provision relating to the bad-faith retention of a deposit, or a portion of the rental deposit, by a landlord to provide that the landlord is subject to punitive damages of at least $500, rather than not more than $200, and to the payment of the tenant’s reasonable attorney fees, in addition to actual damages.
   The bill requires a landlord to, before the rental agreement is executed, provide a copy of the rules or regulations of the manufactured home community or mobile home park and provide a written disclosure statement to the prospective tenant. The written disclosure statement must include an explanation of certain utility rates, charges, and services, an explanation of any fee or amount required to be paid by the tenant to the landlord or to a third party as a condition of the rental agreement, an explanation of certain rights of the tenant under Code chapter 562B, an explanation of statutorily prohibited rental agreement provisions, an explanation of the reasons for which the landlord may withhold amounts from the rental deposit, and explanation of certain duties of the landlord, and an explanation of certain statutorily authorized remedies available to the tenant.
   The bill prohibits a landlord from acting as an agent for a mobile home owner who is a tenant during the sale of a mobile home.
   The bill provides that if there is noncompliance with the rental agreement by the landlord or noncompliance with the landlord’s duty to maintain the premises materially affecting health and safety, the tenant may deliver written notice to the landlord specifying the acts or omissions constituting the breach and if the breach is not remedied in 14 days, procure items or services to remedy the noncompliance during the period of the landlord’s breach and deduct their actual and reasonable cost from the rent.
   The bill allows a tenant to recover reasonable attorney fees for a landlord’s unlawful ouster, exclusion, or diminution of services, and by operation of law, a tenant may recover reasonable attorney fees in an action for retaliation under Code section 562B.32.
   The bill makes changes to several provisions of Code chapter 562B to specify that a tenant’s attorney fees, if awarded by a court, are awarded to the tenant’s attorney and authorizes the award of court costs and attorney fees in certain actions under Code section 562B.22.
   Current Code section 562B.25(2) provides that if rent is unpaid when due and the tenant fails to pay rent within three days after written notice by the landlord of nonpayment and of the landlord’s intention to terminate the rental agreement if the rent is not paid within that period of time, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement. The bill changes the three-day limitation for payment of rent after written notice by the landlord to 30 days. The bill makes conforming amendments to Code chapter 648 (forcible entry and detainer). The bill makes conforming amendments to Code sections 562B.27(1) and 562B.32(3), relating to abandonment of a mobile home and a landlord’s action for possession, respectively.
   Under current law, a mobile home that is determined to be abandoned may not be removed from the mobile home space without a signed written agreement from the landlord showing clearance for removal, and that all debts are paid in full, or an agreement reached with the mobile home owner or other claimant and the landlord. The bill allows removal of an abandoned mobile home by the owner or other claimant without limitation prior to disposal or removal of the mobile home by the landlord under Code chapter 558B (disposal of abandoned mobile homes), unless prohibited under Code chapter 648 (forcible entry and detainer). The bill provides that removal of the mobile home does not affect any claim for amounts due or owing to the landlord, tenant, or other claimant. 
   Current law provides that evidence of a complaint within six months prior to the alleged act of retaliation creates a presumption that the landlord’s conduct was in retaliation. The bill changes that period of presumption from six months to 12 months.
   The bill requires the order of judgment in a forcible entry and detainer action covered by Code chapter 562B to include information describing the powers and duties of the plaintiff and defendant specified in Code section 648.22A in a form and in the manner prescribed by the attorney general. Code section 648.22A is amended to specify that only those amounts ordered by the court resulting from a claim for rent or recovery filed in connection with the forcible entry and detainer action and considered separately by the court, in addition to certain rents for the period prior to removal and certain taxes, must be paid by the defendant prior to removal of the mobile home after the expiration of three days after the entry of judgment. 
   The bill applies to rental agreements and contracts entered into, extended, or renewed on or after July 1, 2011.
