Cal. Civ. Code § 55.1-1312
Authority of local governments over manufactured home parks.
Operative Text
The governing body of any locality may adopt ordinances to enforce the obligations imposed on landlords by § 55.1-1303 .
Va. Code § 55.1-1312 grants local governments in Virginia the authority to pass their own ordinances that enforce the landlord obligations set out in § 55.1-1303, which governs manufactured home parks. This means enforcement of those landlord duties is not limited to state-level action alone — a city, county, or town may layer on its own local rules to back them up. The provision does not itself create new landlord obligations; it simply empowers localities to act as an additional enforcement mechanism for existing ones.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Va. Code § 55.1-1312, operators of manufactured home parks may be subject to locally enacted ordinances that mirror or reinforce the landlord obligations found in § 55.1-1303. Compliant operators generally stay informed about both state law and any local ordinances their governing body has adopted, since a locality may have its own enforcement procedures, timelines, or remedies layered on top of state requirements. Reviewing the ordinances of the specific locality where a park is located is a standard part of responsible park management in Virginia.

Va. Code § 55.1-1312 means that residents of manufactured home parks may have an additional layer of protection beyond state law if their local government has adopted ordinances under this authority to enforce the landlord obligations in § 55.1-1303. Tenants can check with their city or county government to find out whether such a local ordinance exists and what enforcement options it provides. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with Virginia manufactured housing law can help residents understand how local and state protections interact.
