Mandatory Education for Parks:
Wilsonville, June 13th

A new law that became effective the first of this year mandates formal education for park owners or managers. At least one person who has authority to manage a park must complete six hours of continuing education every two years. The person should be the manager or owner, if one lives on-site or off-site. If there isn’t an on-site or off-site manager, then it should be the owner. Oregon Housing and Community Services will see that this mandated education will be offered by trade groups.

The first step, though, is registering. The law requires every manufactured dwelling facility to register with the Oregon Housing and Community Services: go to www.ohcs.oregon.gov or you can call them at 800-453-5511 and they will send you a form.

Why a smoke-free housing community is good for everybody

Interested in converting your rental property to smoke-free? ORHA has new tools to help you do that. ORHA recently developed a new form, Form 27, available from our member associations, whereby you and your tenant can agree to keep the property smoke-free. ORHA also helped develop a flier you can use to explain the benefit of smoke-free housing to applicants and tenants. A 16-page booklet may be available from our member associations; if not, you can download it here. Our affiliate, Rental Housing Association of Greater Portland, has more on the subject, or you can visit www.smokefreeoregon.com.
