Fla. Stat. § 723.001 et seq. § 723.058
Restrictions on sale of mobile homes.
Operative Text
(1) No mobile home park owner or subdivision developer shall make or enforce any rule, regulation, or rental agreement provision which denies or abridges the right of any mobile home owner or owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision to sell his or her mobile home within the park or mobile home subdivision; which prohibits the mobile home owner or the owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision from placing a “for sale” sign on or in his or her mobile home (except that the size, placement, and character of all signs are subject to properly promulgated and reasonable rules and regulations of the mobile home park or mobile home subdivision); or which requires the mobile home owner or the owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision to remove the mobile home from the park or mobile home subdivision solely on the basis of the sale thereof. (2) The park owner or subdivision developer shall not exact a commission or fee with respect to the price realized by the seller unless the park owner or subdivision developer has acted as agent for the mobile home owner or the owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision in the sale pursuant to a written contract. (3) No mobile home owner, owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision, or purchaser of an existing mobile home located within a park or mobile home subdivision, as a condition of tenancy, or to qualify for tenancy, or to obtain approval for tenancy in a mobile home park or mobile home subdivision, shall be required to enter into, extend, or renew a resale agreement. (4) No resale agreement shall be construed to be of perpetual or indefinite duration. Any duration shall be construed to expire 6 months following written notice from the homeowner to the park owner or subdivision developer informing the park owner or subdivision developer that the homeowner is placing his or her mobile home for sale, and requesting the park owner or subdivision developer to utilize his or her best efforts to sell the mobile home on the homeowner’s behalf. Any extension or renewal of a resale agreement shall be in writing and shall be of specified duration. (5) No mobile home park owner or subdivision developer shall impose a discriminatory increase in lot rental amount upon a mobile home owner, owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision, or purchaser of an existing mobile home within the park or mobile home subdivision based upon the failure or refusal of such mobile home owner, owner of a lot in a mobile home subdivision, or purchaser to enter into, extend, or renew a resale agreement prohibited by subsection (3).
Florida Statute § 723.058 establishes that mobile home park owners and subdivision developers cannot block, restrict, or penalize the sale of a mobile home within the park or subdivision. Owners of mobile homes retain the right to post "for sale" signs (subject to reasonable rules on size and placement), sell without being forced to remove the home, and sell without owing the park a commission unless a written agency agreement was in place. The statute also limits the enforceability of resale agreements, caps their duration at six months after written notice of intent to sell, and prohibits retaliatory rent increases against those who decline to enter into such agreements.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Fla. Stat. § 723.058, compliant park owners and subdivision developers refrain from adopting or enforcing any rule, lease clause, or policy that restricts a resident's ability to sell their mobile home in place. Operators who wish to earn a commission on a sale do so only through a separate, written agency contract with the homeowner — not as a default condition of residency. Park owners also avoid tying lot rental amounts to a resident's decision about resale agreements, and they ensure that any resale agreement they offer specifies a fixed duration and is extended only in writing.

Fla. Stat. § 723.058 gives mobile home owners and lot owners in Florida parks and subdivisions the right to sell their home in place, display a "for sale" sign, and keep the full sale proceeds unless they voluntarily signed a written agency agreement with the park. Residents cannot be required to sign, extend, or renew a resale agreement as a condition of living in or qualifying for tenancy in the park, and any existing resale agreement expires no later than six months after the homeowner provides written notice of intent to sell. If a park owner imposes a rent increase in response to a resident's refusal to enter a resale agreement, that increase may be challenged as a violation of this provision — tenant-rights organizations and Florida's court system are among the general avenues available for exploring such a claim.
