Cal. Civ. Code § 38-12-212
Certain types of landlord-seller agreements prohibited.
Operative Text
A seller of mobile homes shall not pay or offer cash or other consideration to the owner of a mobile home park or the park owner's agent for the purpose of reserving spaces or otherwise inducing acceptance of one or more mobile homes in a mobile home park.
Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-212, this rule prohibits mobile home sellers from offering or paying cash or any other form of consideration to a mobile home park owner or their agent in order to secure space reservations or gain acceptance of mobile homes into a park. The provision targets side arrangements between sellers and park operators that could undermine fair access to park spaces. It applies regardless of the form the payment or inducement takes.

Under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-212, park owners and their agents are on the prohibited side of this transaction — accepting cash or other consideration from a mobile home seller for the purpose of reserving spaces or granting acceptance is not permitted. Compliant park operators evaluate mobile home applications through consistent, transparent criteria rather than through seller-funded arrangements. Maintaining clear written policies for space availability and acceptance helps demonstrate that placement decisions are made independently of seller inducements.

Colo. Rev. Stat. § 38-12-212 is relevant to mobile home residents and prospective residents because it targets behind-the-scenes financial arrangements between sellers and park owners that could affect who gets access to park spaces. If a tenant believes that space assignments or acceptances in a park are being influenced by prohibited seller payments, that concern can generally be raised with Colorado housing authorities or a tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home park law. Awareness of this provision can also be relevant when evaluating whether a park's acceptance process is being conducted fairly.
