Minn. Stat. § 327C § 327C.096
NOTICE OF SALE.
Operative Text
When a park owner offers to sell a manufactured home park to the public through advertising in a newspaper or by listing the park with a real estate broker licensed by the Department of Commerce, the owner must provide concurrent written notice to each resident household in the park that the park is being offered for sale. Written notice provided once within a one-year period satisfies the requirement under this section. The notice provided by the park owner to each resident household does not grant any property rights in the park and is for informational purposes only. This section does not apply in the case of a taking by eminent domain, a transfer by a corporation to an affiliate, a transfer by a partnership to one or more of its partners, or a sale or transfer to a person who would be an heir of the owner if the owner were to die intestate.
Under Minn. Stat. § 327C.096, when a manufactured home park owner publicly advertises the park for sale—whether through newspaper advertising or by listing it with a licensed real estate broker—the owner is required to simultaneously provide written notice to every resident household in the park informing them of the sale offering. This notice is purely informational and does not create any property rights for residents. The requirement does not apply in certain situations, such as eminent domain takings, transfers between corporate affiliates or partners, or transfers to the owner's intestate heirs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Minn. Stat. § 327C.096, a compliant park owner who publicly markets the park for sale ensures that written notice is delivered to each resident household at the same time the public advertising or broker listing goes live. Operators should be aware that a single written notice within any one-year period satisfies the statutory requirement, and the notice itself carries no obligation to grant residents any property interest. The exemptions for eminent domain, affiliate transfers, partner transfers, and intestate-heir transfers mean that not every ownership change triggers this notice obligation, so operators generally confirm whether a planned transaction falls within one of those categories.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Minn. Stat. § 327C.096 gives residents of a manufactured home park the right to receive written notice when the park owner publicly offers the park for sale through newspaper advertising or a licensed real estate broker. This notice is informational only and does not by itself create any ownership or property rights in the park, but it does keep residents informed of a potential change in ownership that could affect their housing. Residents who believe they did not receive required notice under this section may wish to contact a tenant-rights organization, a local legal aid office, or the Minnesota Attorney General's office to understand what options may be available.
