§ 1201.217. MANUFACTURED HOME ABANDONED. (a) The owner
of real property on which a manufactured home owned by another is
located may declare the home abandoned as provided by this section
if the home has been continuously unoccupied for at least four
months and any indebtedness secured by the manufactured home is
also delinquent.
(b) Before declaring a manufactured home abandoned, the
owner of real property on which the home is located must send a
notice of intent to declare the home abandoned to the owner of the
home and all lienholders at the addresses listed on the home's
statement of ownership and location on file with the department.
Mailing of the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, to the persons required to be notified by this
subsection constitutes conclusive proof of compliance with this
subsection.
(c) On receipt of a notice of intent to declare a
manufactured home abandoned, the owner of the home or a lienholder
may enter the real property on which the home is located to remove
the home.
(d) If the manufactured home remains on the real property
for at least 45 days after the date the notice is postmarked:
(1) all liens on the home are extinguished; and
(2) the real property owner may declare the home
abandoned and may apply to the department for a statement of
ownership and location listing the real property owner as the owner
of the manufactured home.
(e) A new statement of ownership and location issued by the
department under this section transfers, free of any liens, if
there is evidence of United States Postal Service return receipt
from all lienholders, title to the manufactured home to the real
property owner.
