Cal. Civ. Code § 8A-1805
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8A — Mobile Homes
Operative Text
A community owner who files an affidavit as required under § 8A–1802(b)(7) of this subtitle or a purchaser who files an affidavit as required under § 8A–1803(a) of this subtitle shall, not more than 30 days after the date of the sale: (1) Provide notice of the affidavit to each homeowner in the manufactured housing community by first–class mail; and (2) Post a copy of the affidavit in a public area of the manufactured housing community.
Under Maryland Real Property § 8A-1805, when a community owner or purchaser files a required affidavit in connection with the sale of a manufactured housing community, they must take two follow-up steps within 30 days of the sale closing: notify every homeowner in the community by first-class mail that the affidavit was filed, and post a physical copy of the affidavit in a publicly accessible area of the community. This provision ensures that residents have timely access to information about ownership changes or related commitments affecting their community. The dual-notice requirement—both mailed and posted—is designed to maximize the likelihood that homeowners actually receive the information.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and purchasers of manufactured housing communities in Maryland should be aware that § 8A-1805 imposes a strict 30-day post-sale deadline for two distinct notice actions. A compliant operator or purchaser typically documents the mailing date and retains proof of first-class mail delivery to each homeowner, and also keeps a record of when and where the affidavit was posted in a common or public area of the community. Maintaining organized records of both steps—mailed notices and the posted copy—supports a clear compliance trail under this section of the Maryland Manufactured Housing Community Rights Act.

Maryland Real Property § 8A-1805 gives homeowners in a manufactured housing community the right to receive notice—by first-class mail—that an affidavit was filed in connection with a sale of their community, and to view a posted copy of that affidavit in a public area, all within 30 days of the sale. If a homeowner does not receive this notice or cannot locate a posted copy within that window, they may have grounds to raise a compliance concern. Residents who believe this provision has not been followed can look into contacting a tenant-rights or manufactured-housing advocacy organization, or explore remedies available under the broader framework of §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 of Maryland law.
