Follow these 2 steps to sell your mobile home when it's located in a mobile home park:
Park owners cannot interfere with the sale of a mobile home located within their park, but the new buyer must be approved by the park. Sales commissions are not allowed unless the mobile home owner actually asked the park owner for help in a sale. In that event, the commission can only be a percentage of the actual sale price of the mobile home. The percentage must be disclosed in writing to the mobile home owner before the sale.
A park owner cannot require that a mobile home be moved after it is sold. The only exceptions are where the mobile home is less than 12 feet wide or is in bad condition. The park owner must notify the tenant, in writing, that removal of the mobile home is required upon sale.
When a mobile home located in a park is sold, the buyer must get a new written and signed lease. The new buyer does not take on the seller's lease.
