Cal. Civ. Code § 55.1-1316
Right to sell or rent manufactured home upon eviction.
Operative Text
A. A tenant who has been evicted from a manufactured home park shall have 90 days after judgment has been entered in which to sell the manufactured home or remove the manufactured home from the manufactured home park. Such tenant shall be responsible for paying the rental amount and for regular maintenance of the manufactured home lot during the period between the date of eviction and the sale of the manufactured home or the removal of the manufactured home from the manufactured home park. Such right to keep the manufactured home in the manufactured home park shall be conditioned upon the payment of all rent accrued prior to the date of judgment and prospective monthly rent as it becomes due. During such term, a secured party shall be liable for such charges as provided in § 55.1-1305 . The manufactured home park owner shall have a lien on the manufactured home to the extent that such rental payments are not made. Any sale of the manufactured home shall be subject to the rights of any secured party having a security interest in the home, and the lien granted to the manufactured home park owner under this section shall be subject to any such security interest. B. A tenant who has been evicted from a manufactured home park shall have 90 days from after the judgment has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in which to rent the manufactured home to a subtenant, contingent on the subtenant making a rental application to the manufactured home park owner within such 90-day period and approval by the manufactured home park owner of such rental application from the subtenant. The tenant of the lot shall be responsible for paying the lot rent amount to the park owner and for regular maintenance of the manufactured home lot during the period between the date of eviction and any rental of the manufactured home to a subtenant. Such right to keep the manufactured home on the lot in the manufactured home park shall be conditioned upon the payment of all rent accrued prior to the date of judgment and prospective monthly rent as it becomes due. During such term, a secured party shall be liable for such charges as provided in § 55.1-1305 .
Virginia Code § 55.1-1316 gives a tenant who has been evicted from a manufactured home park a 90-day window after a court judgment to either sell the manufactured home, remove it from the park, or arrange to rent it to a subtenant. During this period, the evicted tenant remains responsible for paying lot rent and keeping the lot maintained, and the right to keep the home on the lot depends on staying current with all rent owed. The park owner acquires a lien on the home if rent goes unpaid, though that lien is subordinate to any pre-existing security interest held by a lender or other secured party.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Va. Code § 55.1-1316, a manufactured home park owner must allow an evicted tenant to keep the home on the lot for up to 90 days to facilitate a sale, removal, or subtenant arrangement. Compliant park operators continue to collect lot rent and enforce maintenance obligations during this period, and they review and approve or deny any subtenant rental application submitted within the 90-day window. If rent goes unpaid during this period, the park owner may assert a lien on the manufactured home, though that lien ranks behind any existing secured-party interest in the home.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Va. Code § 55.1-1316 preserves important rights for tenants who have been evicted from a manufactured home park, giving them 90 days after a court judgment to sell the home, move it, or find an approved subtenant rather than losing the home immediately. To keep the home on the lot during this period, all back rent owed before the judgment and ongoing monthly rent must be paid as it comes due. Tenants navigating this process may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or housing attorney familiar with Virginia manufactured housing law to understand how these protections interact with any lender's security interest in the home.
