Section 398.9 - Installation and removal fees
(a) Any fee charged by the community owner for the installation or removal of a manufactured home in a manufactured home space shall not exceed the actual cost to the manufactured home community owner or operator for providing such service. Such fees shall be refundable to the lessee at the time of removal in the event that the owner or operator acts to recover possession of said space for reasons other than nonpayment of rent or breach of a condition of the lease within one year of the initial installation of such manufactured home. Failure to refund such fees as provided shall entitle the lessee to recover treble their amount plus court costs and reasonable attorney fees.
(b) Limitations on this type of installation fee shall not bar the manufactured home community owner or operator from requiring a reasonable security deposit in accordance with the act of April 6, 1951 (P.L. 69, No. 20), known as "The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951."
