Ala. Code §§ 35-12A-1 to 35-12A-15 § 35-12A-2
Sale of Manufactured Dwelling.
Operative Text
A manufactured dwelling community owner may sell a manufactured dwelling on property owned or leased by the manufactured dwelling community owner only in the manner provided by this chapter.
Under Alabama Code § 35-12A-2, a manufactured dwelling community owner who wishes to sell a manufactured dwelling located on property they own or lease is restricted to the specific procedures and methods set out in Chapter 35-12A. The provision does not grant an open-ended right to sell; instead, it channels any such sale through the rules established elsewhere in that chapter. This creates a defined legal framework governing how these transactions may be conducted within manufactured dwelling communities in Alabama.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 35-12A-2, community owners who hold or lease the underlying land and also seek to sell a manufactured dwelling situated on that land must conduct the sale strictly within the procedures outlined throughout Chapter 35-12A. Operators generally review the full chapter before initiating any sale to confirm that each step—pricing, disclosure, and transfer—aligns with the statutory requirements. Proceeding outside those prescribed methods could expose a community owner to legal challenges regarding the validity of the transaction.

Alabama Code § 35-12A-2 establishes that a manufactured dwelling community owner's ability to sell a dwelling on community property is not unlimited—it is confined to the methods the chapter prescribes, which may affect residents' rights during any such sale. Tenants living in a manufactured dwelling community where an ownership sale is being pursued may want to review the broader Chapter 35-12A provisions to understand what protections or notice requirements apply to them. Tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services familiar with Alabama manufactured housing law can help residents understand how this framework may relate to their situation.
