This argument is both factually and legally flawed. Owners of mobile homes are not prevented from selling the mobile homes; rather, the owners have to sell the homes subject to the tenancy of the renters, unless one of the grounds for eviction in § 6237 is applicable. This is similar to the limitations the Mobile Home Parks Act places on the park owner who rents lots to mobile home owners. The park owners may sell the park, but subject to the continued tenancy of the lot renters. In this context, courts have rejected the argument that a mobile home statute that effectively creates a perpetual lease by limiting grounds for eviction violates the federal takings clause. *39 See, e.g., Gibbs v. Southeastern Inv. Corp., 705 F.Supp. 738, 743 (D.Conn.1989) (mobile home statute that limits grounds for eviction "merely regulates a landlord-tenant relationship once the landowner has voluntarily entered into such"); Eamiello, 546 A.2d at 818 (mobile home law that restricts grounds for eviction "merely regulates the use to which private property may be put"). For the same reasons relied on by these courts, we find no constitutional violation in applying § 6237 to renters of mobile homes. Reversed and remanded. NOTES
