Obligations of landlord for conversion of park into lots: Notices; offers to sell lots; liability for payment of cost of moving manufactured home.
1. A landlord may convert an existing manufactured home park into individual manufactured home lots for sale to manufactured home owners if the change is approved by the appropriate local zoning board, planning commission or governing body, and:
(a) The landlord gives notice in writing to each tenant within 5 days after he files his application for the change in land use with the local zoning board, planning commission or governing body;
(b) The landlord offers, in writing, to sell the lot to the tenant at the same price the lot will be offered to the public and holds that offer open for at least 90 days or until the landlord receives a written rejection of the offer from the tenant, whichever occurs earlier;
(c) The landlord does not sell the lot to a person other than the tenant for 90 days after the termination of the offer required pursuant to paragraph (b) at a price or on terms that are more favorable than the price or terms offered to the tenant;
(d) If a tenant does not exercise his option to purchase the lot pursuant to paragraph (b), the landlord pays:
(1) The cost of moving the tenant’s manufactured home and its appurtenances to a comparable location within 50 miles from the manufactured home park; or
(2) If the new location is more than 50 miles from the manufactured home park, the cost of moving the manufactured home for the first 50 miles,
Êincluding fees for inspection, any deposits for connecting utilities and the cost of taking down, moving, setting up and leveling his manufactured home and its appurtenances in the new lot or park; and
(e) After the landlord is granted final approval of the change by the appropriate local zoning board, planning commission or governing body, notice in writing is served on each tenant in the manner provided in NRS 40.280, giving the tenant at least 180 days after the date of the notice before he is required to move his manufactured home from the lot.
2. Notice sent pursuant to paragraph (a) of subsection 1 or an offer to sell a manufactured home lot to a tenant required pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection 1 does not constitute notice of termination of the tenancy.
3. Upon the sale of a manufactured home lot and a manufactured home which is situated on that lot, the landlord shall indicate what portion of the purchase price is for the manufactured home lot and what portion is for the manufactured home.
4. The provisions of this section do not apply to a corporate cooperative park.
