For Property Managers

Under W. Va. C.S.R. § 64-40-2, if you own or operate a manufactured home community in West Virginia, the broader set of rules in Chapter 64-40 applies directly to your operations. Compliant operators generally familiarize themselves with the full scope of these regulations and maintain practices that satisfy the Bureau for Public Health's standards. Because enforcement authority rests with the Commissioner of the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, operators typically maintain records and documentation that would be available for review by that office or its designee.

For Tenants

W. Va. C.S.R. § 64-40-2 identifies the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health as the agency responsible for enforcing the manufactured home community rules that protect residents. If you believe a community owner or operator is not complying with Chapter 64-40 regulations, the Bureau for Public Health or its Commissioner's designee is the body with authority to act on such concerns. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with West Virginia housing law can help residents understand what options may be available when a potential violation is identified.
