Mobilehome Park Sales and Transfer Rules
This law changes how mobilehome park managers must handle repair requests, buyer approvals, document sharing, and tenant status during home sales.
What This Bill Does
- Requires park management to send a written list of needed repairs within 15 days instead of the previous 10 business days after receiving a request.
- States that if managers do not provide the repair summary on time, they lose the right to require those repairs or improvements, except as specified by law.
- Counts an application for buyer approval as accepted automatically if management does not notify the seller and buyer within 15 days of getting all required information.
- Requires homeowners selling a mobilehome in a park to give a copy of the Transfer Disclosure Statement to the park management.
- Exempts new buyers from being labeled unlawful occupants if managers fail to send timely notice about accepting or rejecting their application.
Who It Names or Affects
- Managers and owners of mobilehome parks
- Homeowners selling a mobilehome that will stay in the park
- Prospective buyers purchasing a mobilehome within a park
Terms To Know
- Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statement

Limits and Unknowns
