(d) “Rental agreement” means a contract under which an individual rents space in a manufactured dwelling park for siting a manufactured dwelling. (2) A credit of $5,000 against the taxes otherwise due under this chapter is allowed to an individual who: (a) Rents space in a manufactured dwelling park for a manufactured dwelling that is owned and occupied by the individual as the individual’s principal residence on the date that the landlord delivers notice that the park, or a portion of the park, is being closed and the rental agreement for the space is being terminated by the landlord or because of the exercise of eminent domain, by order of a federal, state or local agency; and (b) Ends tenancy at the manufactured dwelling park site in response to the delivered notice described in paragraph (a) of this subsection. (3) For purposes of subsection (2) of this section: (a) Tenancy by the individual at the manufactured dwelling park site ends on the last day that a member of the individual’s household occupies the manufactured dwelling at the manufactured dwelling park site; and (b) Tenancy by the individual at the manufactured dwelling park site does not end if the manufactured dwelling park is converted to a subdivision under ORS 92.830 to 92.845 and the individual buys a space or lot in the subdivision or sells the manufactured dwelling to a person who buys a space or lot in the subdivision. (4) Notwithstanding subsection (2) of this section, if the manufactured dwelling park, or a portion of the park, is being closed and the rental agreement of the individual is being terminated because of the exercise of eminent domain, the credit amount allowed to the individual is the amount described in subsection (2) of this section, reduced by any amount that was paid to the individual as compensation for the exercise of eminent domain. (5) An individual may not claim more than one credit under this section for tenancies ended during the tax year.

(7) If more than one individual in a household qualifies under this section to claim the tax credit, the qualifying individuals may each claim a share of the available credit that is in proportion to their respective gross incomes for the tax year.
