Cal. Civ. Code § 55.1-1308.1
Sale of manufactured home park to developer; relocation expenses.
Operative Text
If termination of a rental agreement is due to the sale of the manufactured home park to a buyer that is going to redevelop the park and change its use, the landlord shall provide to each manufactured home owner in the park $5,000 in relocation expenses within the 180-day notice period provided for in subsection B of § 55.1-1308 .
Virginia Code § 55.1-1308.1 establishes that when a manufactured home park is sold to a buyer who intends to redevelop the property and change its use, the park owner must pay each manufactured home owner $5,000 to help cover relocation costs. This payment must be delivered within the 180-day notice period that is separately required under § 55.1-1308(B). The rule applies specifically to sale-for-redevelopment scenarios, not to other types of tenancy terminations.

Under Va. Code § 55.1-1308.1, operators who sell a manufactured home park to a redevelopment buyer are generally expected to identify every manufactured home owner in the park and deliver the $5,000 relocation payment to each of them within the 180-day notice window required by § 55.1-1308(B). Maintaining clear records of all current home owners and documenting the timing of each payment helps demonstrate compliance with the statutory deadline. Operators typically coordinate this obligation alongside the broader notice requirements to ensure both are satisfied within the same period.

Va. Code § 55.1-1308.1 gives each manufactured home owner the right to receive $5,000 in relocation assistance when a park is sold to a buyer planning to redevelop and change the use of the property. This payment is owed within the 180-day notice period established under § 55.1-1308(B), so home owners can track whether the landlord meets that deadline. Residents who believe this payment has not been made as required may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or exploring available legal remedies to enforce the right.
