Is there any way to get a list of people who are licensed to install manufactured homes in NH? And any way to find out if someone has had their license taken away?

I'm sorry this is off topic but it's not obvious to me how one submits a new question on this site.
I would like to submit this question to the Legal Corner...
The park rules for the mobile home park I've lived in for the past 28 years state that no dogs are allowed. There are however, at least two (and perhaps a few more) newer residents that have dogs despite the rules. The pouches are rarely seen or heard and bother no one that I am aware of - but here's the rub...
The 50 lot park is for sale and a co-op was organized with the help of the NH Community Loan Fund. If and when the co-op buys the park, our park rules committee will take up the question of dogs. Is it lawful to restrict the number and/or size of dogs or restrict dogs altogether from the park? Also, if these dog owners have written permission from the current park owner to keep a dog, do they have a leg to stand on legally to keep their dogs if the new park rules restrict the animals?

Too many laws. Get the government out of it. Teach people how to think and they won't be tools anyway. They can get together on a rent strike and everything else.

Under the laws present today it is required that all new installations of manufactured homes new or old be secured to the site "tied down" using the homes manufacturers recommendations. The law in New Hampshire that this requirement falls under is RSA 205D, which was effective July 1, 2004 and was put in place to meet the new federal requirements for the installation of manufactured housing developed by HUD & NFPA. The exact requirements in the NH Installation Standards rules developed by the Manufactured Housing Installations Standards Board can be found in section 603.12 "Anchoring Instructions". Based on the age of you home, it was recommended but not necessarily required back when your house was originally installed.

For several years now large lending institutions have been slowly changing their policies regarding manufactured housing. Many lenders have been and can stipulate that the house be tied down before they will write a new lending agreement on it.

I am trying to sell my 1983 Mobile Home, I have heard that some finance companies will not give financing to people wanting to buy Mobile Homes that are not tied down, is this something new and am I required to do this before selling?

A co-op has opened an account in which it puts between $3 and $5K per month and is attempting to get it up to $189K representing $1K per household which is the co-op membership fee for our park. It then plans to annually return the interest to members unequally based on how long the members have lived in hte park. I thought membership fees were to be used for operating income; as is park fees in a cooperative. If there is this much excess monies to be put away each month, shouldn't the rent be reduced. If not, shouldn't the distribution be divided evenly among co-op members regardless of how long they have lived inthe park?

Hi!
I would love to have information about housing park associations in general, and how to start one at the mobile home park in which I live.
I could not get any info to come up on my monitor after I clicked on the appropriate selections to obtain the info provided by this mota site.
