Upon
the death of owners, manufactured or mobile homes may become the property of
heirs, joint tenants, or estates. These new owners must continue to pay rent,
utilities and charges for homes until they are resold. If they do not meet
these responsibilities, park managers may remove the homes. Prior to a sale,
the new owners may replace a home. Replacement homes must comply with health
and safety standards and meet the most recent park standards. If heirs or joint
tenants want to establish a park tenancy, they must comply with the
requirements for a home buyer.
Legal owners or lienholders may foreclose on their security interest in a manufactured or mobile home. When they take possession of the home they have the right to sell the home to a third party. They must continue to pay rent, utilities and fees until sale of the home.
