Cal. Civ. Code § 38-12-218
Mobile home owners - right to form a cooperative.
Operative Text
One or more members of a homeowners' association may, at any time, form a cooperative for the purposes of offering to purchase or finance a mobile home park. A home owner shall be a member of the homeowners' association in order to participate in the cooperative, and participation in the cooperative shall be voluntary.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-218, residents of a mobile home park who belong to a homeowners' association have the legal right to band together and form a cooperative at any time. The cooperative's purpose is specifically to make an offer to purchase or finance the mobile home park. Membership in the cooperative is entirely voluntary, and only homeowners who are already members of the homeowners' association are eligible to participate.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-218 establishes a resident right that exists independently of any landlord action, but park owners and managers should be aware that their residents may organize a cooperative at any time for the purpose of purchasing or financing the park. Operators who understand this right are generally better positioned to anticipate and respond to any cooperative offer that may arise. Familiarity with this provision can inform how management structures communications and relationships with the homeowners' association.

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-218 gives mobile home park residents who are members of the homeowners' association the right to voluntarily join together in a cooperative to pursue purchasing or financing the park. Residents interested in exploring this option may wish to connect with their homeowners' association, review any existing association bylaws, or reach out to a tenant-rights organization familiar with Colorado mobile home park law. Because participation is voluntary, no resident is obligated to join a cooperative that others choose to form.
General guidance for tenants — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult a tenant-rights organization or attorney for advice on your case.
