S.C. Code Ann. § 27-47-610
Notification by new owner of change in ownership
Operative Text
If a park is sold but continues to operate as a park, the new owner shall notify residents of the change in ownership within thirty days after the date of closing of the sale.
Under S.C. Code Ann. § 27-47-610, when a manufactured home park changes hands but continues to operate as a park, the incoming owner is required to inform current residents of that ownership change within thirty days of the sale closing. The rule applies regardless of the size of the park or the terms of the sale, as long as the property keeps functioning as a park. It establishes a time-bound disclosure obligation tied specifically to the closing date.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators acquiring a manufactured home park in South Carolina should be aware that § 27-47-610 places the notification responsibility squarely on the new owner, not the seller. A compliant new owner typically sends written notice to all residents within the thirty-day window following the closing date, documenting that the notice was delivered and when. Keeping records of that notification — including the method of delivery and the date sent — is a standard practice for demonstrating compliance with this provision.

Under S.C. Code Ann. § 27-47-610, residents of a manufactured home park have a right to be notified by the new owner within thirty days of a sale closing if the park continues to operate. If that notification is not received within the required timeframe, tenants may wish to contact a South Carolina tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand what options may be available. Residents can also raise the absence of required notice when engaging with local housing authorities or in any relevant legal proceeding.
