Latest version.
  • Upon verifying that the petition has been signed by the requisite number of homeowners, the rent review officer shall promptly notify the park owner and the homeowners' representative that the petition has been received and found to be sufficient. Within ten days of verifying a petition as sufficient, the rent review officer shall convene a meeting with the park owner and the homeowner's representative for the purpose of mediating the rent dispute. In mediating the dispute, the rent review officer may require both sides to submit any information and/or documentation reasonably necessary to resolve the dispute, including the information set forth in Sections 540-2.1002 and/or 540-2.1204 and 540-2.1206, as may be appropriate. If the dispute is not resolved within forty days of petition verification, the rent review officer shall terminate mediation efforts and, within ten days of such termination, prepare a record of findings, including findings regarding the parties' participation and cooperation in the mediation efforts, and transmit said findings to the hearing officer, which findings may be considered by the hearing officer. The forty-day period for resolving disputes may be continued by agreement of the parties.
