Wis. Admin. Code Adm § 92.82

Current through May 28, 2024
Section Adm 92.82 - Mobile home - general

A person who is a tenant or an owner of a mobile home shall meet the same eligibility requirements and is entitled to the same replacement payment provisions applicable for a person displaced from a conventional dwelling, except as specified under this section. The ownership or tenancy of the mobile home, not the land on which it is located shall determine a person's status as an owner or tenant occupant. The length of ownership and occupancy of the mobile home in a mobile home park, or on the site, determines a person's status as an 180-day owner or a 90-day owner or tenant.

(1) PERMANENT FOUNDATION. An agency shall treat a person who owns and occupies a mobile home on a permanent foundation the same as a person displaced from a conventional dwelling, except the selected comparable shall be a mobile home and site.
(2) NON-PERMANENT FOUNDATION.
(a) An agency shall treat a person who owns and occupies a mobile home not on a permanent foundation on land a person owns or rents, the same as a person displaced from a conventional dwelling, provided one of the following conditions exist:
1. The mobile home is not decent, safe and sanitary as specified under s. Adm 92.04;
2. The mobile home, because of its condition, cannot be moved without substantial damage or cost;
3. There is no adequate or available site to move the mobile home.
(b) The acquisition price for the purpose of computing a replacement housing payment shall be the trade-in or salvage value of the mobile home, when the mobile home is not acquired by the agency.
(3) COMBINED PURCHASE AND SITE RENTAL PAYMENT. An agency shall pay a person who owns and occupies a mobile home and rents the site, a payment for the increased cost to rent a comparable mobile home site or the necessary downpayment on the purchase of a comparable mobile home site, in addition to the amount necessary to purchase a comparable mobile home as specified under this chapter.
(4) MOBILE HOME PARK FEE. An agency shall include a fee in the replacement or rental assistance payment, when a person is required to pay a fee to enter a mobile home park provided the fee is legally permitted and is not returnable to a person.
(5) PARTIAL ACQUISITION OF MOBILE HOME PARK. A person occupying a mobile home who is required to move from the mobile home park as a result of partial acquisition and displacement of the park operator, shall be a displaced person under this section.
(6) COMPARABLE BASED ON CONVENTIONAL HOUSING. A replacement payment shall be based on a conventionally built comparable dwelling when there is no comparable mobile home available.
