Cal. Civ. Code § 8A-601
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8A — Mobile Homes
Operative Text
A park owner may not: (1) Prevent a resident from selling his mobile home in the park; and (2) Require the resident to remove the mobile home from the park because of the sale of the mobile home.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-601, Maryland law places two clear restrictions on mobile home park owners: they cannot block a resident from selling their mobile home while it remains in the park, and they cannot force the resident to remove the home from the park simply because a sale has taken place. This provision preserves the resident's ability to transfer ownership of their home without being compelled to relocate it as a condition of that transfer. The rule applies regardless of any contrary language that might appear in a park lease or rules.

Park operators subject to Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-601 generally review their lease agreements and community rules to ensure no clause purports to block or penalize a resident's sale of a mobile home within the park. Compliant operators do not condition a resident's right to sell on removal of the home, nor do they impose removal requirements triggered solely by a change in ownership. Operators who wish to screen incoming residents typically do so through lawful, consistently applied criteria that are separate from the sale transaction itself.

Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-601 gives Maryland mobile home residents a protected right to sell their home in place — a park owner cannot block the sale or demand that the home be moved out of the park because of it. If a park owner takes action that appears to interfere with a sale or imposes a removal requirement tied to the sale, a resident may have grounds to raise this provision as a defense or basis for a complaint. Tenant-rights organizations and Maryland legal aid offices can help residents understand the options available under this statute.
