Mobile Home Park Term

Change of use notice

Definition

The long warning a park owner owes residents before the land can do anything else.

Why It Matters

A lot renter is a tenant from the first day, and the grounds for ending that tenancy are a closed list that does not include a change of owner. Closing the park is on the list and it is slow on purpose. California requires sixty days' written notice before the owner even appears before the local body to ask for permits, then six months or more of notice after they are granted. Florida requires six months. California's selling clock runs the other way and belongs to the same state as the first figure here. The owner must give the residents' association written notice of an intention to sell not less than thirty days and not more than a year before entering a written listing agreement with a broker. A buyer planning to redevelop is buying a timetable, not a site.
