When Different Lot Rents Are Lawful: Applying the MHCRA’s “Same or Similar Category” Rule

The Pennsylvania Manufactured Home Community Rights Act (“MHCRA”) does not require every homesite in a manufactured home community to carry identical rent, fees, or charges. It does, however, require that rental charges and rules be uniformly applied to residents and prospective residents in the “same or similar category.” 68 P.S. § 398.4(b). But, what does the “same or similar category” mean? The MHCRA Standard For community owners and operators, the practical question is not simply whether Lot 12 costs more than Lot 13. The question is whether the community can identify, apply, and document a legitimate category-based reason for the difference. Section 398.4 of the MHCRA permits a community owner to establish fair and reasonable rules related to the health, safety, and upkeep of the community, provided they are not arbitrary or capricious. It also requires uniform application of “all rules or rental charges” to lessees or prospective occupants of the same or similar category. “Rental charges” should be treated broadly for compliance purposes. Accordingly, a community should not analyze lot rent in isolation. The category analysis should encompass the entire recurring economic package charged by the owner or operator: lot rent; amenity-related charges; water, sewer, trash, cable, internet, fuel,

PA Auctions Off Former Rockview Items

A wide array of surplus items from the recently shuttered Rockview State Prison in Centre County, has officially hit the auction block, even as the ultimate fate of the facility’s thousands of acres of valuable real estate remains fiercely contested. The online liquidation, hosted on the Pennsylvania Department of General Services website, features everything from industrial power tools and office desks to a prison basketball hoop. Following the closure of the historic Centre County institution, the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections conducted a comprehensive inventory of the prison’s assets. State officials prioritized transferring reusable equipment to neighboring facilities, including the nearby SCI Benner Township, before handing the remaining surplus over to General Services for public sale. The sale comes amid a total standstill regarding the future of the massive state-owned footprint. While a portion of the property has already been earmarked for absorption by SCI Benner, the destiny of the remaining thousands of acres is fueling intense local speculation. Area stakeholders view the site as a premier development opportunity. Local real estate experts have described the vacant expanse as potentially the most valuable piece of real estate in the Commonwealth, comparing the open acreage to a “clean canvas” for future builders and planners.
