The bill also clarifies the responsibility of the tenant for the conduct of guests, invitees, and other persons on the premises with the tenant’s consent. In addition, the bill adds a nondiscrimination clause to the Act and removes language providing that the refusal or restriction of the sale or rental of a manufactured home based exclusively or predominantly on the age of the home is unreasonable.
