Answer:
In New Jersey, you can sell your mobile home in a mobile home park. However, you must follow certain procedures:
1. **Notify the park owner:** You need to give written notice to the park owner or operator that you plan to sell your home.
2. **Provide an application:** Before selling, you must give the buyer an application for park tenancy. The buyer must return this application in person to the park owner or operator.
According to N.J. Stat. § 46:8C-3, the park cannot deny your right to sell your mobile home solely based on the sale. However, the park may require approval of the buyer as a tenant, and this approval cannot be unreasonably withheld. The park owner cannot charge a commission unless they acted as your agent in the sale.
If the park owner unreasonably withholds approval, you or the buyer may take legal action in Superior Court to seek damages and costs.
