Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 46:8c-3, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 46:8c-3.
a. No mobile home park shall deny any resident of such mobile home park the right
to sell said resident's mobile home within the park or require the resident to remove
the mobile home from the park solely on the basis of the sale thereof. The park may reserve the right to approve the purchaser of said mobile home as a
tenant, but such permission may not be unreasonably withheld and the park shall not
exact a commission or fee with respect to the price realized by the seller unless
the park owner or operator has acted as agent for the mobile home owner in the sale
pursuant to a written contract. When a resident of the park plans to sell his home, he shall give written notice to
the park owner or operator. Before a home in the park may be sold, the seller shall provide the buyer with an
application for park tenancy, which shall be returned to the park owner or operator
by the prospective buyer in person. On the private sale of a mobile home, failure to comply with the application procedure
as described, before any sales agreement is entered into, shall absolve the park owner
or operator from the requirements of Sec. 2e and 2d, and Sec. 4 of this act. 1 The preceding is not applicable if a buyer plans to immediately remove a home from
the park. Either a mobile home owner, mobile home purchaser or park owner or operator aggrieved
by the failure of any person to comply with the provisions of this section may seek
damages and reasonable costs and attorneys fees in a complaint, cross-claim, or third
party complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction. b. No contract for the sale of a mobile home, where the buyer and the seller intend
the mobile home remain in the park, shall be valid unless the seller has advised the
purchaser, in writing, of the park owner or operator's right to approve the purchaser
as provided for in this section. c. If the mobile home park owner or operator shall unreasonably withhold approval
of a purchaser of a mobile home as a tenant, either the mobile home owner who is selling
or the intended purchaser of the mobile home may institute an action in the Superior
Court. A plaintiff who shall recover a judgment in any such action shall be awarded all
damages proximately caused by the unreasonable refusal of the mobile home park owner
or operator to approve the sale together with the costs of the action and reasonable
attorneys' fees. In any such action the court shall also be empowered to order the admission of the
purchaser of the mobile home to the mobile home park. 1
