Cal. Civ. Code § ATCP 125.06
Sale of manufactured home; transfer of tenancy.
Operative Text
ATCP 125.06 Sale of manufactured home; transfer of tenancy. (1) No operator may: (a) Require any tenant to designate the operator, or any person named by the operator, as agent for the sale of a tenant’s manufactured home, or unreasonably restrict the sale of a tenant’s manufactured home by the tenant or an agent of the tenant’s own choosing. (b) Solicit or receive any payment or other thing of value as a condition to the assignment or sublease of a rental agreement by a tenant, or as a condition to the transfer of tenancy to a buyer of the tenant’s manufactured home. (c) Sell, for placement in a manufactured home community owned or operated by the operator, any manufactured home purchased from a tenant who was prohibited from selling the home directly for placement in the manufactured home community. (d) Refuse to rent a site to the purchaser of a tenant’s manufactured home except for reason specified under s. 710.15 (5m), Stats. This does not prohibit the screening of prospective tenants by an operator. (e) Limit a tenant’s ability to post, on the tenant’s manufactured home or on the site on which the mobile home is located, a “For Sale” sign or other advertisement announcing the tenant’s offer to sell the tenant’s manufactured home if the limitation is not applied uniformly to every person, including the operator and any manufactured home dealer, who sells or offers to sell a manufactured home on site in the manufactured home community. (2) This section does not create or extend any interest in real estate, or prohibit the lawful screening of new tenants by the operator.
Wisconsin Administrative Code § ATCP 125.06 governs the sale of manufactured homes within manufactured home communities and the transfer of tenancy that follows. The rule prohibits community operators from forcing tenants to use a specific sales agent, collecting fees tied to lease assignments or tenancy transfers, or blocking a buyer from renting a site without a legally recognized reason. Operators are also barred from posting or enforcing advertising restrictions on tenants unless those same restrictions apply equally to every seller in the community, including the operator and any dealers.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § ATCP 125.06, compliant manufactured home community operators allow tenants to choose their own sales agents and do not collect any payment as a condition of a lease assignment, sublease, or tenancy transfer to a buyer. When a tenant's home is sold, operators who wish to screen the incoming buyer do so using criteria permitted under Wis. Stat. § 710.15(5m) and apply any signage or advertising policies uniformly to all sellers in the community. Operators also avoid purchasing a tenant's home and then re-selling it for in-community placement if the tenant was previously blocked from making that same direct sale.

§ ATCP 125.06 gives manufactured home tenants in Wisconsin the right to sell their home through an agent of their own choosing, post "For Sale" signs on their home or site on the same terms as any other seller in the community, and transfer their tenancy to a buyer without the operator collecting a fee for that transfer. If an operator refuses to rent a site to a buyer, that refusal must be based on a reason recognized under Wis. Stat. § 710.15(5m). Tenants who believe an operator has violated these protections may consider filing a complaint with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, which administers ATCP 125, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
