Filing Complaints Through The MHP Oversight Program
You can enforce your rights through the MHP Oversight Program.
The MHPOP launched on May 1, and is now ready to take complaints against landlords, look into them, and take whatever measures are needed to enforce your rights.
They can investigate and enforce any rights set out in the MHPA, and direct you to resources for problems not addressed by the MHPA.

History of the MHP Oversight Program
The MHP Oversight Program is brand new, and just opened for business on May 1, 2020.
It came about from HB19-1309, a bill sponsored by Reps. Edie Hooton & Julie McClusky, and Sens. Steve Fenberg and Pete Lee, and passed with strong support in 2019.
It was modeled after the very successful Dispute Resolution Program in the state of Washington.
