Cal. Civ. Code § 398.11

(a) Any rule, regulation or condition of a lease purporting to prevent the sale of a manufactured
home belonging to a lessee shall be void and unenforceable in the courts of the Commonwealth.
The manufactured home community owner or operator may reserve the right to approve
the purchaser of said manufactured home as a lessee, but such approval may not be
unreasonably withheld. Any claim for a fee or commission in connection with the sale
of such manufactured home shall be void and unenforceable unless the claimant shall
in fact have acted as a bona fide licensed manufactured home sales agent for the manufactured
home owner pursuant to a separate written fee agreement.
(b) Prior to a lessee or occupant in a manufactured home community offering a manufactured
home for sale, the lessee or occupant must obtain from the community operator the
then-current disclosure document required by this act and provide a copy to any prospective
buyer along with an attached sheet of paper with the following information printed
in 12-point boldfaced type:
Be advised that this manufactured home offered for sale is subject to the Manufactured
Home Community Rights Act and a written lease required under that law. You are advised
that the community in which this home is now placed requires an approved application
for lessees and occupants and a fully executed lease prior to your right to reside
in the community.
You shall have a minimum of 5 calendar days after receiving this disclosure required
under the Manufactured Home Community Rights Act to void the transaction with the
operator, if any, and, if terminated, you shall be returned any deposits and rents
paid to the operator of the community.
(c) Failure of the resident seller to obtain a dated acknowledgment from the prospective
buyer of the manufactured home of receipt of the disclosure may be grounds for cancellation
of the sale by the buyer.
