B. A tenant is eligible for payment from the mobile home relocation fund if both of the following conditions are met:
1. The tenant resides in a mobile home or manufactured home that is owned by the tenant and that is located in an age restricted mobile home park.
2. The landlord implements a change from an age restricted community to an all age community as defined by the housing for older persons act of 1995.
C. A landlord who changes a mobile home park designation from an age restricted community shall give written notice of the applicability of this section to all affected tenants.
D. A tenant is eligible to receive relocation expenses pursuant to subsection b of this section as follows:
1. Within one hundred eighty days after the effective date of notification of the change in the age restricted community's use, the tenant shall submit a contract for relocation of the mobile or manufactured home to the director for approval and to the landlord.
2. After notice of approval by the director for the payment of relocation expenses the tenant shall relocate the mobile or manufactured home or have a fully signed contract with a licensed moving company to move the mobile or manufactured home to a specific location by a specific date and must have moved the mobile or manufactured home pursuant to that contract within forty-five days after notice from the director.
3. The director shall approve or not approve the contract submitted within fifteen days after receipt of the contract and the contract is deemed to be approved on the sixteenth day if the director takes no action.
