"The Manufactured Home Park Protection Act"; expands opportunity to purchase for resident homeowners in certain manufactured home parks; modifies certain requirements for disposition of private residential leasehold communities.
S 716, "The Manufactured Home Park Protection Act," would have given residents in New Jersey manufactured home parks the right to purchase their park if the landowner sells it, directly affecting homeowners who live in these communities. Key provisions include requiring landowners to offer the park for sale to resident homeowners first and establishing a state website to notify nonprofits about potential sales. The bill aimed to prevent displacement by expanding residents' ability to collectively buy their park through groups or cooperatives. This bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, after being incorporated into an already-approved law (P.L.2025, c.362).
