Cal. Civ. Code § 398.11c
Notice Requirements in Event of Closure of Manufactured Home Community
Operative Text
(a) The notice given to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency under section 11.2 shall be sent by certified mail and shall be addressed to the legal department of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. (b) (1) Within 60 days of the effective date of this section, the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency shall publish a notice in both the Pennsylvania Bulletin and on its publicly accessible Internet website that it is compiling a list of parties interested in receiving copies of any notice received by it under sections 11.1 and 11.2 and inviting the parties to provide their contact information to receive notices of community sales or closures. Interested parties may indicate their region of the State or that they operate Statewide. (2) The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency shall send copies of notices it receives under this section to parties on the list that are Statewide or within the region the parties identify. Notices shall be sent by regular mail or by electronic mail within ten calendar days of the legal department's receipt of a notice. (3) Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to create any liability for the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency or otherwise to affect the transfer of any real property in the event there is a failure to provide notice in accordance with this act. (c) A notice given pursuant to section 11.2(a)(1) shall be: (1) Delivered to an adult resident of each manufactured home space within the manufactured home community or mailed by first class mail to the resident or tenant of each space. (2) Posted in the same conspicuous and readily accessible place in the manufactured home community where the community rules and regulations are posted, pursuant to section 4. (d) A notice given pursuant to section 11.2(a)(2) shall be given personally to the prospective resident or known prospective tenant.
Under 68 P.S. § 398.11c, when a manufactured home community owner is required to give notice of a potential closure or sale, that notice must follow specific delivery rules depending on who is receiving it. Notice to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency must go by certified mail to its legal department, while notice to current residents must be delivered in person to an adult at each home space or sent by first-class mail, and also posted where community rules are displayed. The Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency is required to maintain a list of interested parties — such as nonprofits or developers — and forward received notices to them within ten calendar days, though the agency bears no liability if it fails to do so.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home communities subject to 68 P.S. § 398.11c must use certified mail addressed to the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency's legal department when sending the required closure or sale notice to that agency. For current residents, compliant operators generally deliver notice directly to an adult occupant at each space or send it by first-class mail, and simultaneously post it in the same location where community rules are displayed under section 4. Operators providing notice to prospective residents or known prospective tenants under section 11.2(a)(2) must deliver that notice personally, rather than by mail or posting.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under 68 P.S. § 398.11c, residents of a manufactured home community are entitled to receive notice of a potential closure or sale either through in-person delivery to an adult at their home space or by first-class mail, and the notice must also be posted in the community's common notice area. If you believe you did not receive required notice as described in this provision, you may raise that as a concern with a tenant-rights organization, a housing counselor, or a legal aid office familiar with Pennsylvania manufactured housing law. Tenants who are prospective residents are entitled to personal delivery of notice under section 11.2(a)(2), which is a distinct requirement from the notice owed to current occupants.
