i. 1. No manufactured home park owner or operator shall deny any
manufactured home tenant the right to sell his manufactured home within
the manufactured home park provided the manufactured home tenant shall
give to the manufactured home park owner or operator twenty days'
written notice of his intention to sell, provided that if the
manufactured home owner is deceased no such notice shall be required
from the administrator or executor of the home owner's estate, and
provided further that no manufactured home park owner or operator shall
restrict access to the manufactured home park to any potential purchaser
or representatives of any seller unless the manufactured home park owner
establishes that such restriction is necessary to protect the property
of such park owner or operator from substantial harm or impairment. No
manufactured home park owner or operator shall require the manufactured
home owner or subsequent purchaser to remove the manufactured home from
the manufactured home park solely on the basis of the sale thereof. The
manufactured home park owner or operator may reserve the right to
approve the purchaser of said manufactured home as a manufactured home
tenant for the remainder of the seller's or deceased tenant's term but
such permission may not be unreasonably withheld. If the manufactured
home park owner or operator unreasonably withholds his permission or
unreasonably restricts access to the manufactured home park, the
manufactured home tenant or the executor or administrator of a deceased
tenant's estate may recover the costs of the proceedings and attorneys'
fees if it is found that the manufactured home park owner or operator
acted in bad faith by withholding permission or restricting access.
