Cal. Civ. Code § 8A-704
Md. Code Ann., Real Property Art. Title 8A — Mobile Homes
Operative Text
(a) A park owner has at all reasonable times a right of entry onto the mobile home site to repair or replace any utility and to protect the park. Except in the case of an emergency, the entry may not be made in a manner and at a time that interferes unreasonably with the quiet enjoyment of the site by the resident. (b) Except in the case of an emergency or to prevent imminent danger to a mobile home or its occupant, a park owner does not have any right of entry to the mobile home without the prior written consent of the resident. The resident may revoke at any time and in writing a consent to entry.
Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-704, a mobile home park owner is permitted to enter the outdoor site area at reasonable times for purposes such as utility repair or park protection, but must avoid unreasonably disrupting the resident's quiet enjoyment except in emergencies. Entry into the mobile home itself is a separate and more restricted matter: the park owner generally has no right to enter the home without the resident's prior written consent. A resident who has given written consent may withdraw it at any time, also in writing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-704 draws a clear line between access to the outdoor site and access to the mobile home structure itself. Compliant park operators typically schedule non-emergency site entries at reasonable hours and in ways that minimize disruption to residents' quiet enjoyment. For entry into the home itself, operators generally obtain prior written consent from the resident and recognize that such consent can be revoked in writing at any time.

Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 to 8A-1903 § 8A-704 gives residents meaningful protections against unwanted intrusion into their mobile homes, requiring the park owner to have prior written consent before entering the home in non-emergency situations. Residents retain the right to revoke any previously granted written consent at any time by doing so in writing. Those who believe a park owner has entered their home without proper authorization may consider documenting the incident, contacting a local tenant-rights organization, or exploring complaint options through Maryland's relevant housing authorities.
