After about three hours of debate, the Connecticut State Senate passed a bill that aims to offer a remedy to mobile home park residents, who face rising rents. It requires that the mobile home park owner notify residents if they’re planning to sell, lease or transfer the land to someone else. Current law gives the right of first refusal to purchase the park to residents if the park owner or new buyer plans to close the park. This bill would expand that right to include sales if the park isn’t going to be closed.
