Oregon requires manufactured park and floating home marina managers to receive ongoing training. Oregon statute applies to at least one person for each manufactured dwelling park or floating home facility.
The training applies to the person who has authority to manage the premises. It requires the manager to complete four (4) hours of continuing education relating to the management of the facility every two years.
Training focuses on operating according to the codes, laws and government directives that apply to rental properties. It also offers tried-and-true practices aimed at minimizing conflict and damage in area neighborhoods.
The Manufactured and Marina Communities Resource Center (MMCRC) offers continuing education classes at least once every six months. Instructors are affiliated with a statewide nonprofit trade association. And that association represents manufactured housing interests. OHCS approves the instructors.
Continuing Education
Marina landlords are not required to take continuing education training until 2022, though marina landlords may enroll in continuing education at any time prior to 2022. See Training Calendar below.
