A displaced homemaker who has only owned with a spouse.
You have only owned a principal residence not permanently affixed to a permanent foundation, in accordance with applicable regulations.
You have only owned a property that was not in compliance with state, local, or model building codes—and that cannot be brought into compliance for less than the cost of constructing a permanent structure.
