Nev. Rev. Stat. ch. 118B § 118B.180

1. A landlord may convert an existing
manufactured home park into individual manufactured home lots for sale to
manufactured home owners if the change is approved by the appropriate local
zoning board, planning commission or governing body. In addition to any other
reasons, a landlord may apply for such approval if the landlord is forced to
close the manufactured home park because of a valid order of a state or local
governmental agency or court requiring the closure of the manufactured home
park for health or safety reasons.
2. The landlord may undertake a conversion
pursuant to this section only if:
(a) The landlord gives notice in writing to the
Division and each tenant within 5 days after the landlord files his or her
application for the change in land use with the local zoning board, planning
commission or governing body;
(b) The landlord offers, in writing, to sell the
lot to the tenant at the same price the lot will be offered to the public and
holds that offer open for at least 90 days or until the landlord receives a
written rejection of the offer from the tenant, whichever occurs earlier;
(c) The landlord does not sell the lot to a
person other than the tenant for 90 days after the termination of the offer
required pursuant to paragraph (b) at a price or on terms that are more
favorable than the price or terms offered to the tenant;
(d) If a tenant does not exercise his or her
option to purchase the lot pursuant to paragraph (b), the landlord pays:
(1) The cost of moving the tenant’s
manufactured home and its appurtenances to a comparable location in this State
or another state within 150 miles from the manufactured home park; or
(2) If the new location is more than 150
miles from the manufactured home park, the cost of moving the manufactured home
for the first 150 miles,
Ê including
fees for inspection, any deposits for connecting utilities and the cost of
taking down, moving, setting up and leveling his or her manufactured home and
its appurtenances in the new lot or park;
(e) After the landlord is granted final approval
of the change by the appropriate local zoning board, planning commission or
governing body, notice in writing is served on each tenant in the manner
provided in NRS 40.280, giving the
tenant at least 180 days after the date of the notice before the tenant is
required to move his or her manufactured home from the lot; and
(f) The landlord complies with the provisions of NRS 118B.184 concerning the submission of
a resident impact statement.
3. At the time of providing notice of the
conversion of the park pursuant to this section, a landlord shall provide to
each tenant:
(a) The address and telephone number of the
Division;
(b) Any list published by the Division setting
forth the names of licensed transporters of manufactured homes approved by the
Division; and
(c) Any list published by the Division setting
forth the names of mobile home parks within 150 miles that have reported having
vacant spaces.
4. If the landlord is unable to move a
shed, due to its physical condition, that belongs to a tenant who has elected
to have the landlord move his or her manufactured home, the landlord shall pay
the tenant $250 as reimbursement for the shed. Each tenant may receive only one
payment of $250 even if more than one shed is owned by the tenant.
5. If a tenant chooses not to move the
manufactured home, the manufactured home cannot be moved without being
structurally damaged or there is no manufactured home park within 150 miles
that is willing to accept the manufactured home, the landlord:
(a) May remove and dispose of the manufactured
home; and
(b) Shall pay to the tenant the fair market value
of the manufactured home.
6. Notice sent pursuant to paragraph (a)
of subsection 2 or an offer to sell a manufactured home lot to a tenant
required pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 2 does not constitute notice
of termination of the tenancy.
7. Upon the sale of a manufactured home
lot and a manufactured home which is situated on that lot, the landlord shall
indicate what portion of the purchase price is for the manufactured home lot
and what portion is for the manufactured home.
8. For the purposes of this section, the
fair market value of a manufactured home must be determined as follows:
(a) A dealer licensed pursuant to chapter 489 of NRS who is a certified appraiser
and who is selected jointly by the landlord or his or her agent and the tenant
shall make the determination.
(b) If there are insufficient dealers licensed
pursuant to chapter 489 of NRS who are
certified appraisers available for the purposes of paragraph (a), a person who
possesses the qualifications pursuant to the Appraiser Qualifications for
Manufactured Homes Classified as Personal Property as set forth in section 8-3
of Valuation Analysis for Single Family One- to Four-Unit Dwellings, HUD
Directive Number 4150.2 CHG-1, of the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development, and who is selected jointly by the landlord or his or her
agent and the tenant shall make the determination.
(c) If there are insufficient persons available
for the purposes of paragraphs (a) and (b) or if the landlord or his or her
agent and the tenant cannot agree pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b), the
landlord or his or her agent or the tenant may request the Administrator to,
and the Administrator shall, appoint a dealer licensed pursuant to chapter 489 of NRS or a certified appraiser who
shall make the determination.
9. The landlord shall pay the costs
associated with determining the fair market value of a manufactured home and
the cost of removing and disposing of a manufactured home pursuant to
subsection 5.
10. The provisions of this section do not
apply to a corporate cooperative park.
