Arkansas rental housing laws

What it would do: Amends Arkansas Code § 16-22-211(d) to allow an officer of a closely held corporation with fewer than 20 shareholders to represent the corporation in eviction and unlawful detainer proceedings.

What it would do: This amendment deletes lines 4 and 5 from page 4 of House Bill 1790, which amends the law concerning local government regulation of short-term rentals.

What it would do: Prohibits local governments from enacting ordinances that prohibit or effectively prohibit short-term rentals. Allows local governments only to require registration up to $50, impose requirements no more burdensome than those for residential properties, suspend operations for violations, or restrict use for illegal activities or sex offender housing.

What it would do: Amends Arkansas Code § 18-60-310 to provide that when a writ of possession is issued for a manufactured or mobile home, the plaintiff is not required to store it and the defendant must remove it at their own expense; the court may find the home abandoned if it remains on the lot 30 days after service.
