How and Where to File A Dispute Resolution Complaint

If a problem arises with a manufactured home, the first contact should be the retailer. Most problems can be eliminated quickly. If the retailer cannot help, the second contact should be the manufacturer. Manufacturers, for the most part, are quick to respond to problems. It is important to put a report of a defect in writing so that there will be proof of date of delivery. Also, make a copy to keep with your records. After reporting an alleged defect, the reporting party or homeowner is encouraged to allow time for a satisfactory resolution of the reported defect before initiating the Manufactured Home Dispute Resolution Program.

If a satisfactory resolution of the reported defect is not obtained, there are offices within most state governments that offer remedies through dispute resolution programs. There are 26 States with established dispute resolution programs. For HUD-administered dispute resolution states, contact HUD to make a request for dispute resolution.

To find the contact for your state, use the table below and click on your state's abbreviation.

If your state does not administer its own dispute resolution program (in orange), please see more information about How To Make a Request with HUD for Dispute Resolution (for HUD-administered states only) or contact the Office of Manufactured Housing Programs at:
