This right to continue this residential use may be lost by abandonment, but shall not be affected by a temporary interruption of such use, or by a substantial alteration thereof, or by the lease, sale or other subsequent disposition of the home, or the land upon which the home is situated. For the purpose of this section, the phrase “residential use” refers to the actual occupancy of a mobile home, or a HUD-code manufactured home, by one or more individuals. In the event that a mobile home or HUD-code manufactured home remains unoccupied for a period of more than six months, its residential use shall be deemed to have been abandoned, without regard to the circumstances giving rise to the vacancy. Conversely, an interruption of occupancy that continues for less than six months shall be considered a “temporary interruption” of residential use which shall not affect the owner’s right to continue that use under this code provision.
