Cal. Civ. Code § 8A-403
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8A — Mobile Homes
Operative Text
(a) A park owner may charge the resident a reasonable service fee, based on an amount that the park owner directly incurs, for installing, placing on, or removing a mobile home from the site. (b) In each case where a fee has been charged by a park owner, a written description detailing the fee shall be provided by the park owner to the resident.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-403, a mobile home park owner is permitted to charge residents a service fee for installing, placing, or removing a mobile home from its site, but only in an amount that reflects costs the park owner actually and directly incurs. Whenever such a fee is charged, the park owner must provide the resident with a written description detailing that fee. The rule both caps the fee at actual cost and creates a documentation requirement tied to every instance a fee is assessed.

Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-403 sets two clear obligations for park operators who charge installation, placement, or removal fees: the fee must be grounded in costs the park directly incurs, and a written description of the fee must be delivered to the resident each time one is charged. Compliant operators typically maintain records of their actual costs for these services and prepare itemized written disclosures that correspond to each specific fee charged. Keeping consistent documentation practices helps demonstrate that fees align with the cost-based standard the statute establishes.

Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-403 gives mobile home park residents the right to receive a written description of any service fee charged for installing, placing, or removing their home from a site, and limits such fees to amounts reflecting the park owner's direct costs. If a resident is charged a fee without receiving written documentation, or believes a fee exceeds the park owner's actual costs, that resident may have grounds to raise the issue with a local housing authority, a tenant-rights organization, or through available legal channels. Consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Maryland mobile home park law can help residents understand what options may be available to them.
