What type of violations can lead to the suspension or revocation of a license for up to one year?

Serious licensing violations are critical breaches of the regulatory laws and ethical standards established for manufactured housing salespersons. These violations typically involve significant misconduct or unethical practices that can jeopardize the integrity of the industry or the safety of consumers. Examples include engaging in fraud, misrepresentation, or failing to adhere to substantial licensing requirements. The consequences for such actions are severe, reflecting their potential impact on public trust and the overall functioning of the market. As a result, regulatory authorities are empowered to suspend or revoke a license for up to a year to protect consumers and maintain the professionalism of the industry.

In contrast, minor code violations may not carry the same level of risk or harm and are usually addressed through warnings or less severe penalties. Unpaid fines may lead to financial repercussions or additional penalties but are not typically grounds for outright suspension or revocation unless they stem from more serious violations. Advertising violations, while important, usually result in corrective actions or fines rather than license suspension, unless they are part of a broader pattern of misconduct.
