How To Buy A Manufactured Home
Placement
Rental Communities
Perhaps a rental community specifically planned for manufactured housing appeals to you. Placing your home in such a community involves fewer practical concerns than siting the home on your own land since most services are included in your lease payments. If the idea of a rental community interests you, visit several. Today's manufactured home communities offer many of the same conveniences and services found in other planned residential developments. Retailers will have information about rental communities and, in some cases, operate such communities themselves. Compare services, amenities, and the costs of each, including the rent, installation fees, and other miscellaneous service charges. Ask the following questions before deciding on a community:
- Is a written lease required? If so, for what length of time?
- What are the charges for utility connections and other services?
- Can my home be installed by my retailer or other professional, or does the community require that it handle installation?
- What will I be charged for installation?
- Who is responsible for ground maintenance, snow removal, garbage collection, street maintenance, and mail delivery?
- What are the community's rules and regulations? Can I live with them? For example, are pets allowed?
- Are there any special requirements or restrictions if I sell my home?
- How are rent increases handled?
- Is there a homeowner's association?
- Are there restrictive covenants?
