16-foot transports approved in Georgia
Article Abstract:
The Georgia Manufactured Housing Assn (GMHA) is pushing for the enactment of a law allowing the transportation of manufactured homes on Georgia's highways. If signed by Governor Zell Miller, the bill will have to pass the board of directors of the Georgia Department of Transportation and then, be published for public scrutiny. If no comment from the public is received the permits can be handed out by May 21, 1992. If comments are, however, received there will be a public hearing after 30 days. The delay could be devastating to the prefabricated houses industry since they need the permits in time for the Georgia Manufactured Housing Show on Apr 7, 1992.

Watch out for 'tying' in community retailing
Article Abstract:
Community owners should refrain from practicing 'tying' arrangements with their prospective clients. When community owners require that a client purchase an additional product in order to avail of one product, he is employing tying arrangements and can be sued for such practice. The Supreme Court determines a property owner's guilt by analyzing his market power based on product market and geographic market. If found guilty, the court imposes harsh penalties including high damage fees plus payment of claimant's lawyer's fees.

LIHC reduces tax liabilities
Article Abstract:
New legislation on the Low Income Housing Credit (LIHC) offers opportunities to individual and corporate investors in projects involving prefabricated housing units that qualify as low-income housing. The LIHC, unlike tax deductions, is a tax credit that lessens an investor's tax liability. Prefabricated housing can qualify for the LIHC, provided the units are permanently attached to real property, and provided all other requirements are met during the project's entire 15-year span.
