§ 8A-1201. Application for change in land use of mobile home park
(a) When a mobile home park owner submits an application for a change in the land use of a park, the owner shall submit, as part of the application, a relocation plan for park residents who will be dislocated as a result of the change.
(b)(1) If a mobile home park owner does not submit a relocation plan for the park residents or does not comply with the terms of an approved plan, the mobile home park owner is in default of the plan and the application for change of land use submitted under subsection (a) of this section may not be approved until the owner submits and complies with a plan.
(3) If a mobile home park owner undertakes a reasonable, good faith inquiry to obtain the information required under paragraph (2) of this subsection and the information in the relocation plan is based on the owner's reasonable, good faith inquiry, the owner shall not incur any liability and may not be estopped from obtaining possession of the premises because of a failure to provide accurate information in the relocation plan.
(c)(1) If a mobile home park with more than 10 sites is closed, the relocation assistance paid to each household shall equal the amount of rent for the premises, excluding taxes and utilities, paid for the 12 months immediately preceding the date the resident vacates the premises.
(3) If a resident fails to return possession of the premises by removing the mobile home from the premises on or before the date specified in the resident's notice of intention to vacate, the resident shall forfeit the balance of any relocation assistance due unless the mobile home park owner agrees in writing to a different date.
(d)(1) The local governing body of the county or municipal corporation in which a mobile home park is located may provide additional relocation assistance to residents.
