The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is in the process of putting the finishing touches on proposed regulations that would make living in an RV or a mobile Tiny Home illegal for most people.

The proposed regulations, entitled “FR–5877–P–01 Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations; Revision of Exemption for Recreational Vehicles”, will redefine the industry, and force HUD regulations on those that live the lifestyle. The new regulations are set to modify a current exemption in the Manufactured Home Procedural and Enforcement Regulations. According to the proposed docket information, RVs would be defined as “a factory build vehicular structure, not certified as a manufactured home, designed only for recreational use and not as a primary residence or for permanent occupancy.”

This means your tiny homes will either fall under HUD regulations, forcing you to comply with HUD building codes, or will be put on the exempt list, making your home illegal to use as a primary or permanent residence.

This is a huge hit for the thousands upon thousands of people who choose to give up their homes every year to live full-time in RVs and tiny homes. If this proposed regulation is adopted by HUD, most tiny homes that are built upon a mobile frame will be subjected to this regulation, and in essence be declared RVs that are not suitable for year-round living.

I knew that forum thread was trouble from the start.

Just because you live in an RV, doesn't mean they aren't after you.

So who is pushing for this, the national association of realtors?

Nope, this would be your "modular" home manufacturers association. That's who this takes money from, people buying tiny houses and living in RVs full time, those are the folks that what we used to call mobile homes would live in if they had to. This groups other great accomplishment was the legal redefining of mobile homes into modular houses. Yet another example of industry lobbying screwing over people for no other reason than profit enhancement.

What is this, it's illegal to live in a Mobile home, or the Mobile Home has to conform to traditional building codes. Seems they are targeting tiny home dwellers. Those that spend 5K to build a fully functional eyesore house in a suburban neighborhood.

I wouldn't count on that.

Curious what they plan on doing with all the retirees this will render homeless.

If you have plates, they see them. And store the data. Think I saw four different cop cars with them mounted over the weekend between MD and Richmond.
