AN ACT to amend and reenact §55-3B-3 of the Code of West Virginia,
1931, as amended, relating to termination of tenancy of a
factory-built home.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §55-3B-3 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended,
be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 3B. REMEDIES FOR WRONGFUL OCCUPATION OF FACTORY-BUILT
HOME SITE.
§55-3B-3. Termination of tenancy.
(a) Except for termination for good cause, the tenancy of a
factory-built home site may be terminated by either party only by
giving at least three months' notice in writing to the other of his
or her intention to terminate the tenancy. When such notice is to
the tenant, it may be served upon the tenant or upon anyone holding
under the tenant the leased premises or any part of the leased premises. When it is by the tenant, it may be served upon anyone
who at the time owns the premises, in whole or in part, or the
agent of the owner or according to the common law. If the
termination is for good cause, no notice requirements other than
those provided in sections four and six of this article may be
imposed.
(b) Unless the landlord is changing the use of the site, if a
tenancy is ended by the landlord at the later of its stated term or
at the end of the period set out in subsection (b), section two of
this article, without good cause, the owner may not prevent the
sale of the factory-built home in place to another tenant who meets
the standards and criteria in effect for new tenants prior to the
termination of the tenancy.
