Appointment of receiver.
Operative Text
23-10.1-03. Appointment of receiver.
If the court grants the petition to place the mobile home park into receivership, the court
shall appoint the commissioner as receiver. The commissioner may designate a qualified
individual or a nonprofit organization to execute the receivership. An individual designated to
execute the receivership may not be employed by this state or a political subdivision. The
receiver shall use the income and assets of the mobile home park to maintain and operate the
mobile home park and to attempt to correct the violations of chapter 23-10, the administrative
rules of the department, or other condition which constitutes a threat to health or safety. The
receiver may not liquidate the assets of the mobile home park.Under N.D.C.C. § 23-10.1-03, when a court approves placing a mobile home park into receivership, it must appoint the state commissioner to serve as receiver. The commissioner can delegate that role to a qualified private individual or nonprofit organization, but not to a state or local government employee. The receiver is authorized to use the park's own income and assets to keep it running and to address health, safety, or regulatory violations — but is expressly prohibited from selling off the park's assets.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under N.D.C.C. § 23-10.1-03, a mobile home park that has been placed into receivership will have its operations taken over by a court-appointed receiver who manages income and assets on behalf of the park. Operators who find themselves subject to a receivership petition generally maintain thorough records of compliance with Chapter 23-10 and department administrative rules, since the receiver's mandate is specifically to correct outstanding violations. Staying current on health and safety standards is the kind of ongoing practice that reduces the circumstances under which a receivership petition could be granted in the first place.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
N.D.C.C. § 23-10.1-03 provides that once a court places a mobile home park into receivership, a receiver — appointed through the commissioner — takes over management with the explicit goal of correcting health, safety, and regulatory violations using the park's own resources. Residents of a park in receivership retain the right to know who is managing the property and can monitor whether the receiver is addressing the conditions that triggered the proceeding. Tenants who have concerns about conditions in a mobile home park, or about how a receivership is being administered, may consider reaching out to the North Dakota Department of Health or a local tenant-rights organization for general information about their options.
