(1) Home owners shall have the right to meet and establish a homeowners' association. Meetings of home owners or the homeowners' association relating to mobile home living and affairs in their park common area, community hall, or recreation hall, if such a facility or similar facility exists, shall not be subject to prohibition by the park management if the common area or hall is reserved according to the park rules and such meetings are held at reasonable hours and when the facility is not otherwise in use; except that no such meetings shall be held in the streets or thoroughfares of the mobile home park.
(2) The management shall not charge home owners or residents a fee to meet in common buildings or spaces in the park, including any common area, community hall, or recreation hall; except that the management may charge for the reasonable costs of cleaning or repairing actual damages incurred. The management may recuperate the cost of repairs for actual damages beyond normal wear and tear that were caused by a home owner by retaining a portion of a home owner's security deposit.
(3) If requested by a home owner or resident, the landlord of a mobile home park shall, within thirty days of receiving the request, host and attend a free, public, accessible meeting for residents of the park; except that a landlord is not required to host and attend more than two meetings in a calendar year. Notice of the date, time, and location of the meeting must be posted in English, Spanish, and any other language reasonably known to be spoken by more than one resident in the park in a clearly visible location in common areas of the mobile home park, including any community hall or recreation hall, for a period of seven days before the meeting and must be provided by mail at least fourteen days before the meeting to each home owners' association, residents' association, or similar body that represents the residents of the park. In addition to mailing the notice as required by this section, the landlord shall provide notice of the meeting by e-mail to each home owner and resident who has an e-mail address on file with the landlord. Upon the reasonable request of a home owner or resident that is made at least seven days before the scheduled meeting, a landlord shall provide an interpreter for any meeting that is held pursuant to this section pursuant to section 38-12-212.9. If an interpreter is provided, the landlord shall provide any documents or materials for the meeting pursuant to section 38-12-212.9. The landlord shall bear the costs of providing the interpreter and for translating any documents or materials provided for the meeting. A landlord may use a virtual language line or other means of providing live interpretation virtually or online to satisfy the requirements of this section. The division is encouraged to publish a list of available virtual, online, and remote interpretation services that are offered by trained interpreters.
