a. No mobile home park shall deny any resident of such mobile home park the right to sell
said resident's mobile home within the park or require the resident to remove the mobile home
from the park solely on the basis of the sale thereof. The park may reserve the right to approve
the purchaser of said mobile home as a tenant, but such permission may not be unreasonably
withheld and the park shall not exact a commission or fee with respect to the price realized by
the seller unless the park owner or operator has acted as agent for the mobile home owner in the
sale pursuant to a written contract.

When a resident of the park plans to sell his home, he shall give written notice to the park
owner or operator. Before a home in the park may be sold, the seller shall provide the buyer
with an application for park tenancy, which shall be returned to the park owner or operator by the
prospective buyer in person. On the private sale of a mobile home, failure to comply with the
application procedure as described, before any sales agreement is entered into, shall absolve the
park owner or operator from the requirements of Sec. 2e and 2d, and Sec. 4 of this act. The
preceding is not applicable if a buyer plans to immediately remove a home from the park.
Either a mobile home owner, mobile home purchaser or park owner or operator aggrieved by the
failure of any person to comply with the provisions of this section may seek damages and
reasonable costs and attorneys fees in a complaint, cross-claim, or third party complaint in a
court of competent jurisdiction.
