Cal. Civ. Code § 8A-1101
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8A — Mobile Homes
Operative Text
(a) A park owner may only evict a resident for: (1) Nonpayment of rent; or (2) The following violations: (i) Making or causing to be made, with knowledge, any false or misleading statement on an application for tenancy; (ii) Violation of a federal, State, or local law that is detrimental to the safety and welfare of other residents in the park; or (iii) Repeated violation of any rule or provision of the rental agreement occurring within a 6–month period. (b) A park owner shall deliver to the resident by certified mail, regular mail, or personal delivery a written notice of the violation at least 30 days before the date the resident is required to vacate the premises. The notice shall be specifically addressed to the resident in question and shall provide a specific reason for the eviction.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8A-1101, a mobile home park owner's authority to evict a resident is limited to a narrow set of grounds: nonpayment of rent, knowingly providing false or misleading information on a tenancy application, violating a federal, state, or local law that harms the safety or welfare of other park residents, or repeatedly breaking a park rule or rental agreement provision within any six-month window. Before a resident can be required to leave, the park owner must deliver a written notice at least 30 days in advance, addressed specifically to that resident and stating the precise reason for the eviction. This notice must be sent by certified mail, regular mail, or personal delivery.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Park owners operating under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8A-1101 generally maintain clear, contemporaneous records documenting any rule violations, lease breaches, or rent delinquencies that form the basis for an eviction action. Compliant operators ensure that any eviction notice is individually addressed to the specific resident, states the exact ground for eviction, and is delivered at least 30 days before the required vacate date via certified mail, regular mail, or personal delivery. Because the statute limits permissible eviction grounds to those explicitly listed, operators typically review whether a situation fits one of those categories before initiating the process.

Section 8A-1101 of the Maryland Real Property Code gives mobile home park residents significant protection by restricting the grounds on which a park owner may seek eviction — if an eviction notice does not cite one of the enumerated reasons, or if the required 30-day written notice was not properly delivered, a resident may have grounds to challenge the eviction. Tenants who receive an eviction notice can review whether it is specifically addressed to them and whether it states a legally recognized reason, as deficiencies in either area may be raised as a defense in an eviction proceeding. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services familiar with Maryland's Mobile Home Park Act can help residents understand the options available to them under § 8A-1101.
