3. This subdivision shall apply to all manufactured home parks with
four or more manufactured homes. However, its provisions shall not be
given effect in any case in which it is established that the condition
from which the complaint or action arose was caused by the manufactured
home tenant, a member of the manufactured home tenant's household, or a
guest of the manufactured home tenant. Nor shall it apply in a case
where a tenancy was terminated pursuant to the terms of a lease as a
result of a bona fide transfer of ownership. The rights and obligations
of the manufactured home park owner or operator and the manufactured
home tenant shall be governed by the provisions of this subdivision and
subdivisions three, four and five of section two hundred twenty-three-b
of this article.
o. Whenever a lease shall provide that in any action or summary
proceeding the manufactured home park owner or operator may recover
attorney's fees and/or expenses awarded by a court, there shall be
implied in such lease a covenant by the manufactured home park owner or
operator, to pay to the tenant the reasonable attorney's fees and/or
expenses incurred by the tenant to the same extent as is provided in
section two hundred thirty-four of this article which section shall
apply in its entirety. A manufactured home park owner or operator may
not demand that a tenant pays attorneys' fees unless such fees have been
awarded pursuant to a court order.
