She told me that Texas State law now prohibits comps from being given out.

Most state/county laws I do not think would let you evict or end a lease in the middle of the term for late rent payment (assuming they do pay before eviction day).I'm also unsure if you can refuse future payments via personal check.

 @Rob ChamberlainGoogle "Wisconsin Residential Landlord-Tenant Law" and check-out the info on the Wisconsin State Law Library website (wilawlibrary.gov).

Do you know offhand if that law still applies if I make it clear that I'm soliciting LOAN funds?

We have been told (but we are very skeptical) that because of responses received from Rishel Consulting Group, the Illinois Manufactured Housing Association, the Wisconsin Manufactured Housing Association, the Texas Manufactured Housing Association, the Manufactured Housing Institute, and two law firms, that chattel lending for manufactured homes will be written out of the legislation.The challenge, and the reason I posted this, is that everyone in the industry needs to be on the alert for when the model legislation reaches their state legislators to make sure chattel lending for manufactured homes is, in fact, exempt from any legislation the legislators may pass. 

I don't know your local laws, so first, you want to make sure what you're planning on doing is legal in your area.  

IF, FOR ANY REASON, SELLER (A) IS UNABLE TO MAKE THE TITLE INSURABLE OR CORRECT TITLE PROBLEMS OR (B) IS UNABLE TO OBTAIN TITLE INSURANCE FOR THE PROPERTY FROM A REPUTABLE TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY AT REGULAR RATES OR (C) DETERMINES IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION THAT IT IS UNABLE OR IT IS ECONOMICALLY NOT FEASIBLE TO CONVEY GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY INSURABLE BY A REPUTABLE TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY AT REGULAR RATES, AT THE CLOSING DATE, AND SUCH CLOSING DATE IS NOT EXTENDED OR OTHERWISE AMENDED IN THE SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION OF SELLER AS SET FORTH ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR (D) DETERMINES, IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION TO DEEM THE AGREEMENT NULL AND VOID IF REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND/OR REQUIRED BY ANY EXISTING CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT BINDING UPON SELLER AND/OR THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AGREEMENTS WITH THE PRIOR OWNER OF THE PROPERTY, ANY MORTGAGE INSURER OR ANY MORTGAGE BROKER, THEN SELLER MAY CANCEL THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE OTHER PARTY AND THE ESCROW/CLOSING AGENT.

Google the "tenants in foreclosure protection" as gar as CA state laws.  

I have been researching the laws regarding tax lien certificates in California and I am definitely hungry to learn more. 

However, know the rental laws of your area!
