N.J. Stat. Ann. § 2A:18-51 et seq. § 2A:18-61.3a
Mobile home parks; restrictions on "for sale" signs; prohibition
Operative Text
No mobile home park owner or operator may evict a mobile home resident for posting in or on his mobile home a "for sale" sign or similar notice of the private sale of the mobile home. Nor may a mobile home park owner or operator prohibit or unreasonably restrict such posting by any means, including but not limited to, rules and regulations of the mobile home park or written leases or rental agreements between the park owner or operator and mobile home residents. L.1983, c. 432, s. 1, eff. Jan. 5, 1984.
Under N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.3a, mobile home park owners and operators in New Jersey are prohibited from evicting a resident solely because that resident has posted a 'for sale' sign or similar private-sale notice on or in their mobile home. The law also bars park owners and operators from using any mechanism — including park rules, regulations, or lease terms — to prohibit or place unreasonable restrictions on such postings. This provision establishes a protected right for mobile home residents to advertise the private sale of their home without fear of retaliatory eviction or suppression through contractual means.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Mobile home park owners and operators subject to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.3a generally ensure that their park rules, regulations, and lease agreements do not contain provisions that ban or unreasonably restrict residents from posting 'for sale' signs on their mobile homes. Compliant operators refrain from initiating eviction proceedings against a resident on the basis of such a posting. Reviewing existing governing documents to confirm they do not conflict with this provision is a common practice among operators seeking to maintain compliance.

N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.3a gives mobile home residents in New Jersey the right to post a 'for sale' sign or similar notice on their home without being evicted or penalized for doing so. If a park owner or operator attempts to evict a resident over such a sign, or enforces a rule or lease clause that prohibits or unreasonably restricts such postings, that action may conflict with this provision. Residents who believe their rights under this section have been violated may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization, a legal aid office, or an attorney familiar with New Jersey mobile home park law to understand available options.
