new hampshire laws and standards
New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 205-A regulate manufactured-home (also called mobile home) parks. Resident-owned communities (ROCs), their members and residents must follow, and are protected by, these laws.
All cooperative members should be familiar with RSA 301-A, which governs consumer cooperatives, including ROCs.
ROCs are also incorporated under the state's RSA 293-A, which offer guidance in the proper operation of a cooperative.
