A mobile park owner may not:
1. Force a tenant to buy equipment from a park owner or a particular outlet (N.J.S.A. 46:8C-
2);
2. Force a tenant to either buy a mobile home or necessary equipment from a particular seller
(N.J.S.A. 46:8C-2);
3. Force a tenant to move their mobile home within the park unless the move is reasonably
necessary. If reasonably necessary, the park owner must serve the tenant with a 30-day
written notice. In an emergency, the operator may move the mobile home, however, they
are responsible for all damages to the home resulting from the move (N.J.S.A. 46:8C-2);
4. Charge a commission or fee for the sale of a mobile home unless they acted as the sales
agent, nor prohibit the posting of a “for sale” on the home (N.J.S.A. 46:8C-3);
5. Force a tenant to make a donation or gift directly or indirectly from someone who wants to
rent a space in the park (N.J.S.A. 46:8C-2); and
6. No landlord or operator may deny any resident the right to sell their home within the park
community or require the unit to be moved solely because it is being sold (N.J.S.A. 46:8C-
2).
A mobile park owner may reserve the right to approve the purchaser of a mobile home but
approval cannot be unreasonably withheld. Any entrance fee or other payment required by the
landlord to get into a park/community accepted by a landlord or operator makes the landlord or
operator a disorderly person and may result in the person making the payment able to recover
double the amount paid plus losses in Superior Court where the property is located.
