The act requires that, for a potential sale of a mobile home park that is a portfolio sale including real property or structures located outside of the mobile home park, the price, terms, or conditions of the proposed sale, including for the real property or structures located outside of the park, must be made available to the home owners of the park, even if the home owners submit an offer to purchase only the park. The act requires the landlord and any potential buyer to conduct the sale of the mobile home park at arms-length and in good faith. The act establishes certain parameters related to the registration fee that must be paid by a landlord of a mobile home park and limits the amount that the landlord may charge each resident to cover the registration fee at $17.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
