Maryland Mobile Home Park Laws
Maryland's Mobile Home Parks Act of 1980, Title 8A of the Real Property Article, governs the tenancy of a resident who owns the home and rents the lot beneath it in a park of two or more sites, and its centerpiece is a one-year lease: the park owner must offer every year-round resident an agreement of at least a year and must offer a further year to a qualified resident before the term runs out, eviction is limited to four listed grounds on thirty days' written notice, changing the use of the land takes a year's written notice to every resident plus a relocation plan filed with the county or city, and closing a park with more than ten sites means paying each household a full year's rent in relocation assistance.

There is no statewide cap on lot rent; a rent increase at renewal of a year-long agreement takes sixty days' notice. When a community is sold, every resident and the state housing department must be told at least thirty days beforehand, and where the buyer will not record an affidavit promising five years of continued use and rent increases of no more than ten percent a year for three years, a homeowners organization representing at least seventy-five percent of the lots gets sixty days to make its own offer, which the owner must consider in good faith. A wide-ranging 2026 act rewrites much of the title on October 1, 2026, moving rent-increase notice to ninety days for every resident, cutting the deposit cap to one month's rent, adding a cure period before a nonpayment case may be filed, and giving an evicted resident thirty days to sell the home in place.

Each row below is a state rule (with its citation) or an honest "no state rule" with what governs instead — lease terms and the general landlord-tenant law still apply where the park act is silent. This page covers a resident who owns the home and rents the lot; a home rented from the park is an ordinary Maryland tenancy.

A. Scope — who and what the act covers
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| State agency with a role in park tenancies | The Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General, with the Department of Housing and Community Development receiving park-sale notices and publishing the list of purchase-financing organizations Maryland routes complaints about mobile home park tenancies to the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General. A violation of any provision of the title that affects a resident or prospective resident falls within that division's enforcement duties and powers under Title 13 of the Commercial Law Article, and every other state agency enforces the title within the scope of its own authority. The Department of Housing and Community Development has two roles: it must be told by certified mail at least thirty days before a park is sold, and it must keep on its website a list of organizations and county housing agencies that can help residents finance the purchase of their community. From October 1, 2026 a resident of a mobile home park whose household income is at or below fifty percent of the state median becomes a covered individual under the Access to Counsel in Evictions Program, which the Maryland Legal Services Corporation administers. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1902 (a), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (h); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1804 (g); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, amending Real Prop. § 8-901(c) |
| Resident may sue under the act | Yes A resident or a park owner may enforce by civil action any right or duty under the title. The aggrieved party may recover the damages caused by the noncompliance, and a court may award equitable relief it considers necessary, including an order stopping further violations. If the rental agreement allows attorney's fees to the park owner, a resident who prevails may be awarded reasonable attorney's fees as well, and the losing party may be liable for court costs and the prevailing party's fees. The title and every rental agreement made under it also carry an obligation of good faith in performance and enforcement. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1501 (a), (b) |
| Minimum park size for the act to apply (lots) | 2 lots The act applies once a property is leased or held out for lease to two or more residents or prospective residents. A resident is a mobile home owner who leases or rents a site for residential use and lives in a mobile home park, so the act covers exactly the arrangement where the home belongs to the household and the lot beneath it is rented. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-101 (d), (j)(1) |
| Other size thresholds that switch rules on |
| Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (b)(2)(iii), (c)(1); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1801 (d)(4) |
| Park-owned rental homes | Ordinary landlord-tenant law applies Renting a home that the park owns is outside this act. The act protects a resident, defined as a mobile home owner who leases or rents a site, so a household that rents the home itself rather than the lot is covered by Maryland's ordinary residential landlord-tenant law in Title 8 of the Real Property Article. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-101 (j)(1), (i) |
| RVs and park-model homes | Excluded Recreational vehicles fall outside the act. It reaches only a mobile home, defined as a structure transportable in one or more sections, eight or more body feet wide and thirty or more body feet long, built on a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a dwelling when connected to the required utilities. A unit that does not meet those dimensions and that design purpose is not covered, and the act names no recreational-vehicle or park-model category at all. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-101 (c) |
| Local rent regulation of park lots | Authorized by state law; no local ordinance identified Maryland leaves the door open to local rules and no local lot-rent ordinance has been identified. The act says that no provision of the title bars supplementary rights afforded by a public local law of the General Assembly or by any ordinance or local law of a municipality or political subdivision, provided that no such law diminishes or limits a right or remedy the title grants. The anti-retaliation section says the same thing in the other direction: where a county ordinance covers comparable ground, the state section supersedes it to the extent the ordinance gives a resident less protection. The act itself sets no ceiling on lot rent, and the rent stabilization laws adopted in Montgomery County, Prince George's County and Takoma Park are written around licensed rental units rather than rented lots. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1901; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1301 (f) |
B. Lot rent, fees and utilities
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Notice before a lot-rent increase | 60 days A park owner renewing a lease of a year or more with a higher rent must give the resident notice of the increase at least sixty days before the existing agreement expires. That rule reaches only an agreement with a term of not less than one year that is offered for renewal for a term of not less than one year, so a resident on a month-to-month term has no statutory notice period today. From October 1, 2026 the rule is replaced by a general one: written notice at least ninety days before the date of any rent increase, for any resident, and an increase may take effect only after an existing term expires. A change to this rule takes effect October 1, 2026; the entry above states the law in force today and describes the change. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (i); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, enacting Real Prop. § 8A-202(j) |
| How often rent may be raised | No state rule No Maryland statute limits how often lot rent may be raised. The rental agreement must state the total annual rental for the site, the term of payment and the amount due for each installment, so in practice the figure is fixed for the agreed term and changes when the agreement is renewed, but the act sets no minimum interval between increases. From October 1, 2026 the act adds one: a rent increase may take effect only after the expiration of an existing term. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a)(3)(iii); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (i) |
| Statewide limit on lot-rent increases | No state rule Maryland sets no statewide ceiling on lot rent. The one rent limit written into the title is not a general cap: a buyer of a manufactured housing community can avoid having to offer the community to the residents by recording an affidavit promising to keep the land in use as a community for five years and to hold lot-rent increases to no more than ten percent a year for the first three years after the purchase. That promise binds only a purchaser who chooses that route, and breaking it costs the purchaser $10,000 payable to the homeowners organization. A 2026 bill that would have capped increases and required departmental approval to exceed the cap did not advance out of committee. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (a)(2); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1806 (b)(2) |
| How a resident can challenge an increase | A resident may sue under the act, and may raise an arbitrary rent increase as a retaliatory action either in defense to an action for possession or as an affirmative claim for damages. Maryland's route is the courts rather than a rent board. A park owner may not arbitrarily increase the rent, decrease services or bring an action for possession because a resident made a good-faith complaint, sued or took part in a tenants' organization, and a violation is a retaliatory action carrying damages of up to three months' rent, reasonable attorney's fees and court costs. The presumption runs only for six months after the resident's protected act. Separately, any right or duty under the title may be enforced by civil action, and a violation that affects a resident is within the enforcement powers of the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General. From October 1, 2026 the retaliation damages rise to six times the monthly rent and inconsistent or arbitrary enforcement of the agreement or the park rules is added to the list of retaliatory acts. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1301 (a), (b), (c), (d); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1501 (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1902 (a) |
| Entrance fee prohibited | Yes An entrance fee is prohibited outright. The same sentence bars an exit fee, and the section adds that no fee may be charged in connection with the renewal of a rental agreement or to work out whether a resident is qualified for a one-year renewal. A park owner may also not take any gratuity, meaning a donation, bonus, fee or gift, given to gain an advantage over other prospective residents, and a court hearing an action to recover a gratuity must award double the amount plus court costs. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-402 (a), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-501 (6); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-502 |
| Exit or removal fee prohibited | Yes An exit fee is prohibited by the same sentence that bars an entrance fee. A separate section does allow a reasonable service fee, based on the amount the park owner directly incurs, for installing, placing or removing a mobile home, and requires a written description of that fee. From October 1, 2026 that service fee is repealed and a fee for the installation, placement or removal of a home is prohibited along with fees for parking, pets, use of park amenities, administrative costs not authorized by the act, and utility connections. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-402 (a); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-403 (a), (b); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, repealing Real Prop. § 8A-403 and amending § 8A-402(b) |
| Undisclosed fees uncollectible | Yes A park fee increase the resident was not told about cannot be collected. A park owner may raise a park fee only by delivering written notice of the increase to each resident at least thirty days before it takes effect, and if it fails to do so it may not collect the increased amount from that resident. The rental agreement must set out all park fees in a way that identifies the service provided for each one, along with the amount of any late payment fee, and a park owner must give a written receipt for a park fee on request. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-401 (a), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a)(3)(iii)4, (a)(3)(iii)5; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-406 |
| Utility billing rules | A park owner that buys electricity, gas or another utility service from a publicly regulated utility for resale to a resident may not charge more for it, directly or indirectly, than the utility charges the park owner. Maryland caps utility resale at cost. Before a resident signs an agreement or moves in, the park owner must give written notice of the availability, capacity and connection fee of all utility services at the proposed site and take back a written acknowledgment, and the rental agreement must describe each service, facility and utility service the park owner will provide. The park owner must keep each utility service in good repair. From October 1, 2026 three rules are added: no administrative, maintenance or similar fee may be layered onto a utility service supplied by a utility vendor; the cost of a service delivered through a master meter must be divided equally among the residents who receive it; and a vendor billing for well water service may not charge more than five percent of the rent payable for the period covered by the bill, must send an itemized bill before requiring payment, and must let a resident inspect the records behind it. A change to this rule takes effect October 1, 2026; the entry above states the law in force today and describes the change. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-503; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a)(1), (a)(3)(v); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-801 (a)(5); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, amending Real Prop. § 8A-503 |
| Submetering required or regulated | No state rule Maryland does not require individual meters on park lots or regulate a submetering system. The section on utility charges limits what a park owner may charge for a service it resells, and the pre-occupancy section requires notice of the availability, capacity and connection fee of the utility services at the site, but neither addresses how a service is measured. From October 1, 2026 the act reaches master metering for the first time, requiring the cost of a master-metered service to be divided equally among the residents who receive it, which is a rule about splitting the bill rather than about installing meters. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-503; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a)(1) |
| Lot security deposit rules | A lot security deposit may not exceed two months' rent or $50, whichever is greater, may not be raised once the tenancy has begun, and must be returned with interest within 45 days after the tenancy ends. Maryland caps the lot deposit and pays interest on it. A park owner that charges more than the limit owes the resident up to three times the extra money plus reasonable attorney's fees, and an action may be brought during the tenancy or within two years after it ends. The deposit must go into an interest-bearing account devoted to deposits at a Maryland banking or savings institution within thirty days, the resident must be given a written receipt, and the receipt or agreement must tell the resident about the right to a written list of existing damages if asked for within fifteen days of moving in. Interest runs at the one-year United States Treasury yield curve rate as of the first business day of the year or 1.5 percent a year, whichever is greater, on deposits of $50 or more held at least six months. Money may be withheld only for unpaid rent, damage from a breach of the agreement, or damage beyond ordinary wear, and a resident who gives fifteen days' written notice of moving may be present at the inspection. Failing to return the deposit without a reasonable basis within forty-five days exposes the park owner to up to three times the withheld amount plus fees. From October 1, 2026 the cap becomes one month's rent or $500, whichever is greater. A change to this rule takes effect October 1, 2026; the entry above states the law in force today and describes the change. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1001 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-702; 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, amending Real Prop. § 8A-1001(a)(1) |
C. Lease, rules and disclosure
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Written lease | Required A written rental agreement is required before anyone moves in. Before a current or prospective resident signs an agreement or occupies the premises, the park owner must deliver a copy of the agreement, a copy of the park rules with an explanation of how they may be amended, and a written notice of the availability, capacity and connection fee of the utility services at the site. The agreement itself must identify the site, state a term of tenancy of at least one year, set out the total annual rent, the payment schedule, the amount of each installment, any late payment fee and all park fees, describe each general obligation of both sides, describe every service and utility provided, describe any termination and renewal option, reproduce the text of the section defining a qualified resident, and point to this title as the governing law. The act defines a rental agreement as a written understanding. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-101 (i) |
| Minimum lease term that must be offered | 12 months A park owner must offer every current and prospective year-round resident a rental agreement for a period of not less than one year, and the agreement delivered before occupancy must contain a term of tenancy of at least one year. When the first term ends the resident goes onto a month-to-month term unless a longer one is agreed, but a qualified resident must be offered another one-year agreement before the existing term expires, and may ask for one at any time during a month-to-month term. That offer must reach the resident no later than thirty days before the existing term expires, must explain the right in clear language, and must say that declining it leaves the tenancy month-to-month, terminable by either side on thirty days' notice. From October 1, 2026 the offer deadline moves to ninety days and the renewal must carry terms substantially similar to the existing agreement. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (a), (b), (c)(2); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a)(3)(ii) |
| Notice to end a tenancy without cause | 30 days A month-to-month lot tenancy may be ended by either side on thirty days' notice. That is the route out for a resident who is not a qualified resident, or who was offered a one-year agreement and chose to stay month-to-month, and the offer of a one-year term must say so in clear language. Where the agreement is not renewed because the park owner says the resident is not qualified, the park owner has five days to give the resident a written statement of the specific reason. A holdover case in the District Court needs one month's written notice for a monthly tenancy and three months' notice for a year-to-year tenancy. From October 1, 2026 the month-to-month notice becomes ninety days, the reasons notice must come at least ninety days before the term expires and must offer the resident a meeting to contest the decision, and a park owner must give ninety days' notice of intent to file before bringing a holdover case. A change to this rule takes effect October 1, 2026; the entry above states the law in force today and describes the change. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (b), (c)(2)(ii)3, (c)(4), (c)(5); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1702 (b)(1), (b)(3); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, enacting Real Prop. §§ 8A-202(a)(3)(ii), 8A-202(b)(6), 8A-1701(a)(2)(ii) |
| Notice before park rules change | 30 days An amendment to a park rule or standard takes effect on the later of the date named in the amendment or thirty days after the park owner delivers written notice of the proposal to each resident. A rule is unenforceable unless it is in writing, delivered to each affected resident and posted in a conspicuous place in the park. All rules and standards must be fair and reasonable and apply uniformly, and a rule that does not apply uniformly is presumed unfair. A rule setting a standard for the size, quality, material specification or construction of homes may not be enforced against someone who already owned or rented a home in the park when the standard was adopted, nor against anyone who buys that home. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (a)(2), (b)(2), (d), (e), (f); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1502 (b) |
| Disclosure document | Written rules and terms must be given Maryland requires a set of written documents rather than one state-prescribed handbook. Before a resident signs or moves in, the park owner must hand over a copy of the park rules with an explanation of how they may be amended, a written notice of the availability, capacity and connection fee of the utility services at the site, and a copy of the rental agreement carrying fifteen listed items. Two of those items function as disclosures in themselves: the agreement must reproduce the statutory text defining a qualified resident, and must point to this title as the law governing the relationship. From December 1, 2026 the Maryland Judiciary must publish a form titled Notice of Intent to File a Complaint for Repossession of the Premises that a park owner must use before going to court. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3)(vii), (a)(3)(viii); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 2 |
| Residents' right to meet and organize | Yes A park owner may not act against a resident for taking part in a tenants' organization. Bringing or threatening an action for possession, arbitrarily raising the rent, cutting services or ending a periodic tenancy because the resident has participated in any tenants' organization is a retaliatory action, which the resident may raise in defense to an eviction case or as an affirmative claim for damages of up to three months' rent plus fees and costs. The act does not separately grant a right to hold meetings or distribute literature in the common areas; the protection runs through the retaliation section and through the sale subtitle, which is built around a homeowners organization that must be open to all homeowners in the community and controlled by its members. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1301 (a)(1), (a)(2)(iii), (b), (c); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1801 (d) |
| Owner entry onto the lot or into the home | No state rule The act gives a park owner no right of entry onto the lot or into the home, and sets no notice rule for entry. The nearest provisions run the other way: the park owner must assure the resident peaceable and quiet entry onto the leased premises at the start of the term, and the residents' access to common areas that the park owner must provide may not infringe on any resident's leased site. Access is therefore left to the rental agreement and the park rules, which must be fair, reasonable and uniform and are open to challenge as unconscionable. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-701 (a); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-801 (a)(4); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (d) |
| Retaliation prohibited | Yes Retaliation is prohibited and carries damages. A park owner may not bring or threaten an action for possession, arbitrarily raise the rent or cut services, or end a periodic tenancy because the resident gave written or actual notice of a good-faith complaint about a violation of the agreement, a violation of law or a condition that substantially threatens health or safety; because the resident sued the park owner or testified or took part in such a suit; or because the resident participated in a tenants' organization. The protection lapses if the park owner's act comes more than six months after the resident's protected act. A court finding retaliation may award damages of up to three months' rent, reasonable attorney's fees and court costs. Where a county ordinance covers the same ground, this section supersedes it to the extent the ordinance gives less protection. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1301 (a), (b), (c), (d), (f) |
D. Termination and eviction
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Just cause required to end a tenancy | Yes A park owner may only evict a resident on the grounds the act lists. The list is short: nonpayment of rent, a knowingly false or misleading statement on the tenancy application, a violation of federal, state or local law detrimental to the safety and welfare of other residents, or a repeated violation of a rule or of the rental agreement within a six-month period. The grounds govern eviction; a separate route exists at the end of a term, because a resident who does not meet the definition of a qualified resident may be moved onto a month-to-month tenancy that either side can end on thirty days' notice, with a written statement of the specific reason due within five days. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101 (a); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (b), (c)(1), (c)(4) |
| Grounds for termination |
| Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101 (a), (b); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, amending Real Prop. §§ 8A-101 and 8A-1101 and enacting § 8A-1701 |
| Notice for nonpayment of lot rent | 30 days Nonpayment of rent is the first of the listed eviction grounds, and the act requires written notice of the violation at least thirty days before the date the resident has to leave. The court route for unpaid rent runs on its own clock: the park owner files a complaint in the District Court, trial is held on the fifth day after filing, the court enters judgment for the amount due and orders the resident to give up possession within thirty days after trial, and a warrant issues only if the resident has not complied within fifteen days of that order. A late payment fee may be charged only if the agreement provides for it, only up to five percent of the rent due or $5, whichever is higher, and only where rent is still unpaid five days after the due date. From October 1, 2026 the park owner must first send a notice of intent to file, at least thirty days before filing, and a resident who receives one alleging unpaid rent has ten days to cure before a complaint may be filed. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101 (a)(1), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1701 (b), (c)(2), (c)(3), (d); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-404; 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, enacting Real Prop. § 8A-1701(a), (b) |
| Notice for a rule or lease violation | 30 days A rule or lease violation takes thirty days' written notice before the resident must leave. The notice must be delivered by certified mail, regular mail or personal delivery, be addressed specifically to the resident and give a specific reason for the eviction. If the park owner then goes to court on a breach of the rental agreement, the agreement must allow repossession for a breach and the park owner must already have given the resident one month's written notice of the violation and of its intention to repossess, after which the court summons the resident immediately. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101 (a)(2), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1703 (a) |
| Repeat-violation rule | A repeated violation of any rule or provision of the rental agreement occurring within a six-month period is a ground for eviction. Repetition inside a six-month window is what turns a rule breach into a ground for eviction. The same six-month test decides who counts as a qualified resident entitled to a one-year renewal: a resident who has not committed a repeated violation in the preceding six months, with no substantial violation outstanding when the term expires, who has paid rent on the due date or within any grace period commonly permitted in the park during the preceding year, and who owns a home meeting the park's standards. From October 1, 2026 both tests turn on a substantial violation rather than a repeated one, and the payment-history limb is dropped from the qualified resident definition. A change to this rule takes effect October 1, 2026; the entry above states the law in force today and describes the change. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101 (a)(2)(iii); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (c)(1); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, amending Real Prop. §§ 8A-101(m), 8A-202(b)(1), 8A-1101 |
| Time to sell or remove the home after termination | No state rule Maryland gives a resident no statutory window to sell the home in place after an eviction. What the act does give is time to leave and a way to stop the eviction: on a judgment for unpaid rent the court orders the resident to give up possession within thirty days after trial, the court may extend that to forty-five days on a physician's certificate that surrendering sooner would endanger the health or life of an occupant, and the resident may redeem the tenancy by paying all past-due rent, late fees and court-awarded costs and fees at any time before the eviction order is actually carried out. From October 1, 2026 a right to sell after eviction is added: a resident has at least thirty days after the warrant is executed before the park owner may take the lot back, may enter the park and the home between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. to collect belongings and make improvements, and may sell the home to a third party; the park owner must offer within twenty days to buy the home at no less than its appraised value; and a court may extend the thirty days for good cause. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1701 (c)(3), (c)(4), (e); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-604; 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 1, enacting Real Prop. § 8A-1706 |
| Abandoned-home procedure | No state rule The act sets out no procedure for a home left behind in the park. Abandonment appears only as a limit on the park owner: a rental agreement may not authorize the park owner to take possession of the premises or of the resident's personal property unless the agreement has ended and the property has been abandoned without formal legal process, and taking possession by lockout or by willfully cutting off heat, water, electricity or gas is prohibited outright, with actual damages, attorney's fees and costs for a violation. What governs instead is the warrant of restitution procedure in the repossession subtitle. From October 1, 2026 the act addresses disposal for the first time, giving a resident whose abandoned property is sold by the park owner any proceeds above the rent due and unpaid fees. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (e)(4); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1102 (b), (c); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1701 (d) |
| Mediation or dispute-resolution requirement | No state rule Maryland requires no mediation or other dispute-resolution step before an eviction case. Disputes go to the District Court, where a resident sued for unpaid rent may raise a defense of material noncompliance with the title if written notice of the noncompliance was given before the rent came due, or any other legal or equitable defense, and may ask the circuit court to appoint a trustee to receive the rent and apply it to correcting the problem. A resident may also raise retaliation in defense to an action for possession. From December 1, 2026 the notice a park owner must send before filing has to carry contact details for the court's Alternative Dispute Resolution Office and Self-Help Center and for nonprofit legal services organizations. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1601 (a), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1301 (b)(2)(i); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729) § 2(b) |
E. Closure and change of use
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Notice before closure or change of use | 12 months If the use of the land is changed, every resident is entitled to one year's prior written notice of termination, whatever the rental agreement says about a longer term. The park owner must also send a copy of that notice to the local governing body of the county or municipal corporation where the park sits. Separately, an application for a change in the land use of a park must carry a relocation plan for the residents who will be displaced, and the application may not be approved until the owner submits a plan and complies with it. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (c)(3); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (a), (b)(1) |
| Variants (by trigger or park size) | No state rule The one-year notice does not vary. It applies to every change of land use, whatever the size of the park and whatever the reason, and nothing in the act shortens or lengthens it. Park size changes only the money: relocation assistance is owed where a park with more than ten sites closes. If the park owner withdraws a notice of park closure, it owes no relocation assistance for the period after the rescission notice goes out, and it owes nothing to a person who signs an agreement to rent in the park after receiving written notice of the land-use application or the closure. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (c)(3)(i); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (b)(5), (b)(6), (c)(1) |
| Relocation payment required | Yes Closing a park with more than ten sites means paying each household relocation assistance. The amount is set by statute and the relocation plan filed with the change-of-land-use application must carry a budget for it. The plan must also list the residents with household sizes, addresses and contact details, set out a relocation calendar with written monthly updates, describe the notice a resident has to give before leaving and the payment timetable, and list area parks with vacancies and area companies that move homes. A park owner that does not file a plan, or does not follow an approved one, is in default and the land-use application may not be approved until it files and complies. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (b)(1), (b)(2), (c)(1) |
| Relocation amounts |
| Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (b)(4), (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (d); 2023 Md. Laws ch. 177 (House Bill 23) § 2, amending Real Prop. § 8A-1201(b)(2)(iii), (c)(1) |
| Who pays relocation | The park owner The park owner pays. Maryland has no state relocation fund for this topic; the assistance is a duty of the owner closing the park, budgeted in the relocation plan filed with the land-use application and paid in two halves around the return of possession. The local governing body of the county or municipal corporation may choose to add relocation assistance of its own, and the park owner is not responsible for anything the local government pays. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (c)(1), (c)(2), (d) |
| Notice to a government body on closure | Yes The local government has to be told twice. A park owner changing the land use must send the local governing body of the county or municipal corporation where the park sits a copy of the one-year written notice of termination given to the residents, and the change of land use itself requires an application to that body carrying a relocation plan for the residents who will be displaced. The application may not be approved while the owner is in default of the plan. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (c)(3)(ii); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1201 (a), (b)(1) |
F. Sale of the park
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Residents must be told the park is for sale | Yes Residents must be told a park is being sold. A park owner that enters into a contract of sale must, at least thirty days before the date of the sale, notify each resident by hand delivery or certified mail with return receipt, notify the Department of Housing and Community Development by certified mail with return receipt, and post notice of the sale in a public area of the park. A second and separate notice is owed under the sale subtitle where the buyer will not commit to keeping the community open, and a purchaser or community owner who records one of the statutory affidavits must tell each homeowner about it by first-class mail and post a copy in the community within thirty days after the sale. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (h); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (b), (c); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1805 |
| What triggers the notice | Entering into a contract of sale triggers a notice at least 30 days before the sale; conditionally accepting an offer from a buyer who will not record the five-year affidavit triggers the notice that opens the residents' 60-day purchase window. Maryland has two separate sale notices with two different triggers. The first is a plain notice of sale owed to every resident, to the Department of Housing and Community Development and by posting, not less than thirty days before the date of the sale. The second sits in the sale subtitle: when a community owner receives an offer to purchase, acceptance must be conditioned on the buyer recording an affidavit in the county land records promising to keep the land in use as a manufactured housing community for five years and to hold lot-rent increases to no more than ten percent a year for the first three years. If the buyer will not record that affidavit, acceptance must instead be conditioned on the owner notifying each homeowner, the Department and the appropriate housing agency of the terms it has conditionally accepted, and giving the homeowners the chance to buy. Each substantially different offer to sell or to purchase starts the requirements again. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (h); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (a), (b), (c); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1802 (a) |
| Residents' purchase right | Notice plus an opportunity to negotiate a purchase Residents get a chance to buy, not a right to match an offer. The chance arises only where the buyer will not record the affidavit promising five years of continued use and rent increases of no more than ten percent a year for three years; where the buyer records it, the sale goes ahead with no purchase opportunity at all. Where the opportunity does arise, the notice must set out the price and material terms of the conditionally accepted offer with copies of the supporting documents, and those terms must be universal and applicable to all potential buyers rather than specific to the homeowners. A homeowners organization then has sixty days from the mailing date to submit an offer with substantially similar material terms, backed by documentation that at least seventy-five percent of its resident members voted to purchase. The community owner must consider that offer in good faith, a duty spelled out as not scuttling the proposed agreement, not arbitrarily or capriciously refusing to continue negotiating, and not engaging in misconduct or dishonesty; it is not required to accept it, and it need not consider further offers after the sixty days run out. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1804 (a), (c) |
| Time for residents to respond | 60 days Homeowners have sixty days from the mailing date of the notice to submit their offer. Within ten days after giving the notice the community owner must make available to the homeowners organization the same information it gave, or would have given, other prospective purchasers. The organization must send its notice of intent to purchase and its proposed agreement by registered or certified mail. If the two sides sign an agreement, the organization has not more than 105 days from the date of the agreement to obtain financing and close, unless they agree on a different period; missing that deadline means the community owner has met its obligations. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (c)(3)(ii), (e); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1804 (b), (c), (d), (e) |
| Resident-association threshold | 75% The threshold is seventy-five percent, and it applies twice. A homeowners organization qualifies only if it represents the interests of the homeowners in the community, is open to all homeowners living there, is controlled by its members, and comprises homeowners who lease or rent at least seventy-five percent of the lots. To make an offer, it must then give the community owner documentation that at least seventy-five percent of its members who live in the community, with one vote per home, have voted to purchase. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1801 (d); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1804 (a)(1) |
| Transfers exempt from the sale rules |
| Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1802 (a), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202 (h) |
| Residents may assign the right to a nonprofit or municipality | Yes A homeowners organization may hand its rights under the sale subtitle to someone better placed to finance the purchase. The statute names a local government, a housing authority, a nonprofit with expertise relating to housing, or the State or a state agency, and the assignment must be for the purpose of continuing the use of the property as a manufactured housing community that will provide affordable housing. The Department of Housing and Community Development must keep on its website a list of organizations and county housing agencies available to help homeowners finance a purchase, and that list must be included in the notice sent to the homeowners. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1804 (f), (g); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (c)(3)(iii) |
| Penalty for violating the sale rules | A community owner that willfully fails to comply with the sale subtitle owes the homeowners organization $10,000, and a purchaser that recorded the five-year affidavit owes the same $10,000 if it closes the community within five years or raises lot rent by more than ten percent a year in the first three years. The penalty runs to the homeowners organization rather than to the State, and it is a fixed sum rather than damages. The community owner is not liable to any other party to a real estate transaction for a violation of the notice section, which keeps the penalty from unsettling the sale itself. Elsewhere in the act the remedies are ordinary civil ones: any right or duty may be enforced by civil action with damages for noncompliance, a retaliatory action carries up to three months' rent plus fees and costs, an unlawful lockout carries actual damages plus fees and costs, and an action to recover a gratuity carries double the gratuity plus costs. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1806 (a), (b); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803 (f); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1501 (b) |
G. The resident's home
| Rule | Maryland law | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Right to sell the home in place | Yes A park owner may not prevent a resident from selling the home in the park, and may not require the home to be removed because of the sale. Those two bars sit in a single short section and are the backbone of the resale rules. The seller must give the park owner thirty days' prior written notice of the intention to sell, whether the home is to be moved off the site or kept on it. From October 1, 2026 that notice requirement does not apply to a resident against whom a repossession case is already pending. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-601; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-604 |
| Park may not take a commission on the sale | No A park owner may take a commission on the sale of a home, but only on strict terms: it may collect one only if it has acted as an agent for one of the parties to the sale under a separate written agreement. Fees around the resale are capped separately. A park owner may not charge for inspecting a home for resale more than once in a twelve-month period, unless a material change has caused the home to deteriorate, and the inspection fee may not exceed $60. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-603; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-402 (c), (d) |
| Park may screen the buyer | Yes A park owner may screen the buyer, but only if it has reserved that right by rule and only within limits. The statute lets a park owner prescribe by rule that, in any sale where the home stays in the park, it reserves the right to approve the buyer and the standards of the home, and then adds in the same breath that approval of a buyer may not be unreasonably withheld. The rule itself has to meet the general standards for park rules: in writing, delivered to each resident, posted, fair, reasonable and uniform. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-602; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (a), (d), (e) |
| Buyer-approval standard and deadline | Approval of a buyer may not be unreasonably withheld, and the right to approve exists only where the park owner has prescribed it by rule. Maryland states the standard and leaves the timetable open: the act sets no deadline for the park owner to answer and no list of permitted reasons for refusal. The seller must give thirty days' prior written notice of the intention to sell. The buyer who takes the site is a new resident, so the pre-occupancy duties apply: before signing or moving in the buyer must receive the utility notice, the park rules with an explanation of how they may be amended, and a rental agreement with a term of at least one year carrying the fifteen listed items. A rule setting a standard for the size, quality, material specification or construction of homes cannot be used against a buyer who purchases from someone who already owned the home when the standard was adopted. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-602; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-604; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201 (a); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (b)(2)(ii) |
| Home may not be rejected for age, size or style alone | Yes A home already in the park is grandfathered against later standards, and so is its buyer. A rule setting a standard for the size, quality, material specification or construction of mobile homes may not be enforced against anyone who owned or rented a home in the park when the standard was adopted, as to that home, nor against anyone who buys that home from the person who owned it then. The park owner must still prescribe reasonable written standards for the homes placed or retained in the park covering size, quality, appearance, material specification, construction and safety condition, so a standard in force when the home arrives does apply. The act does not name the home's age as a protected characteristic. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (b)(1), (b)(2) |
| Park may require repairs before sale | Yes A park owner may hold a home to the park's written standards before a resale, and may charge for one inspection. It must prescribe reasonable written maintenance standards for homes in the park and the immediate area around them, in line with state or county health laws, and where it has reserved the right by rule it may approve the standards of the home on a sale that keeps it in the park. The resale inspection fee may not exceed $60 and may not be charged more than once in a twelve-month period unless a material change has caused the home to deteriorate. Standards adopted after the home arrived cannot be used against the seller or the buyer. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (b), (c); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-602; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-402 (c), (d) |
| Right to post a For Sale sign | No state rule Maryland does not protect a for-sale sign on a home or a rented lot. The section listing what a park owner may not do bars preventing a sale in the park and requiring the home to be removed because of the sale, and says nothing about signs; the section on rules requires them to be reasonable, uniform and in writing but does not carve out advertising. A sign is therefore governed by the park rules, which must be fair and reasonable, are unenforceable unless delivered to each resident and posted, and may be challenged as unconscionable. | Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-601; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301 (a), (d), (e); Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1502 (b), (d) |
H. The eight federal lender protections — which ones Maryland law already requires
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require eight tenant site lease protections in every manufactured housing community loan they buy. Where state law already requires a protection of every park, a resident has it whether or not the park has agency financing. Maryland law requires 4 of 8. All 50 states are compared in our research study, including the 2018 federal survey baseline.
| Protection | Maryland law | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| One-year renewable lease term unless there is good cause for non-renewal | Required | A park owner must offer every current and prospective year-round resident an agreement of not less than one year, the agreement delivered before occupancy must carry a term of at least one year, a qualified resident must be offered a further one-year term before the existing one expires and may ask for one during a month-to-month term, and eviction is limited to the four grounds the act lists (Md. Code, Real Prop. §§ 8A-201(a)(3)(ii), 8A-202(a), 8A-202(c)(2), 8A-1101). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101) |
| 30-day written notice of rent increases | Partly | The sixty days' notice of a rent increase reaches only an agreement of at least one year that is being offered for renewal for at least one year, so a resident on a month-to-month term has no statutory notice of an increase; the statewide half of the protection arrives on October 1, 2026, when ninety days' written notice becomes due for any resident (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202(i); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 enacting § 8A-202(j)). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202; 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729)) |
| 5-day grace period for rent payments and the right to cure defaults on rent payments | Required | A late payment fee may be charged only where rent is still unpaid five days after the due date, and only up to five percent of the rent due or $5, whichever is higher; the tenancy cannot end inside that window because an eviction for a listed ground needs thirty days' written notice before the resident must leave and a court judgment for unpaid rent orders possession returned thirty days after a trial held on the fifth day after filing; and the resident may cure by paying all past-due rent, late fees and court-awarded costs and fees at any time before the eviction order is carried out (Md. Code, Real Prop. §§ 8A-404, 8A-1101(b), 8A-1701(c), 8A-1701(e)). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-404; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1101; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1701) |
| Right to sell the manufactured home without having to first relocate it out of the community | Required | A park owner may not prevent a resident from selling the home in the park and may not require the home to be removed because of the sale (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-601). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-601) |
| Right to sell the manufactured home in place within 30 days after eviction by the community owner | Not required | Maryland gives an evicted resident no period to sell the home in place. The act gives thirty days after trial to return possession and a right to redeem the tenancy by paying what is owed before the eviction order is carried out, but no sale window; a thirty-day window opens on October 1, 2026, when a resident gains at least thirty days after execution of the warrant to sell the home to a third party (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1701(c)(3), (e); 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 enacting § 8A-1706). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1701; 2026 Md. Laws ch. 754 (Senate Bill 729)) |
| Right to sublease or assign the pad site lease for the unexpired term to the new buyer of the home without unreasonable restraint | Required | Where the park owner has reserved by rule the right to approve a buyer on a sale that keeps the home in the park, the same section provides that approval of a buyer may not be unreasonably withheld, which is the must-accept standard this protection calls for; the buyer then receives a rental agreement with a term of at least one year (Md. Code, Real Prop. §§ 8A-602, 8A-201(a)(3)(ii)). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-602; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-201) |
| Right to post "For Sale" signs that comply with the community's rules | Not required | No provision of the title protects a for-sale sign. The list of things a park owner may not do covers preventing a sale in the park and requiring removal of the home, and stops there, so signs are left to the park rules (Md. Code, Real Prop. §§ 8A-601, 8A-301). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-601; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-301) |
| Right to receive at least 60 days' notice of a planned sale or closure of the community | Partly | The closure limb is met and exceeded, at one year's written notice of termination for a change of land use, but the sale limb falls short: the notice of sale owed to every resident is due only thirty days before the date of the sale, and the sixty-day window to submit a purchase offer opens only where the buyer will not record the five-year affidavit (Md. Code, Real Prop. §§ 8A-202(c)(3)(i), 8A-202(h), 8A-1803). (Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-202; Md. Code, Real Prop. § 8A-1803) |
Notes and caveats
- A large rewrite takes effect on October 1, 2026 — Chapter 754 of the 2026 laws, approved on May 26, 2026, amends nineteen sections of the title and adds three more. The changes with the widest reach are ninety days' written notice of any rent increase for any resident, with increases taking effect only after a term expires; a security deposit cap of one month's rent or $500; ninety days' notice to end a month-to-month tenancy; a notice of intent to file before any repossession case, with ten days to cure unpaid rent; a bar on fees for parking, pets, park amenities, home installation or removal and utility connections; a five percent of rent ceiling on well water billing; and at least thirty days after an eviction is carried out in which the resident may sell the home in place. The act applies only to cases begun and rental agreements entered into on or after that date.
- The one-year lease turns on being a qualified resident — A qualified resident is one who has paid rent on the due date or within any grace period commonly permitted in the park during the preceding year, has not committed a repeated violation of a rule or of the agreement in the preceding six months with no substantial violation outstanding when the term expires, and owns a home that meets the park's standards. A resident who does not meet the test goes onto a month-to-month tenancy that either side may end on thirty days' notice, and the park owner has five days to give a written statement of the specific reason for not renewing.
- Relocation money is a year's rent, and only above ten sites — Where a park with more than ten sites closes, each household is owed the rent paid for the lot, excluding taxes and utilities, for the twelve months immediately before it leaves: half within thirty days after the household gives written notice of when it will go, half within thirty days after possession is returned. The Manufactured Housing Modernization Act of 2023 raised this from ten months' rent and lowered the threshold from thirty-eight sites. A county or city may add assistance of its own at its own expense.
- The purchase opportunity can be avoided by affidavit — A buyer who records an affidavit in the county land records promising to keep the land in use as a manufactured housing community for five years and to limit lot-rent increases to ten percent a year for three years does not have to give the residents a chance to buy. Breaking either promise costs the buyer $10,000 payable to the homeowners organization. Nine kinds of transfer, including foreclosure sales, family transfers, like-kind exchanges and eminent domain, sit outside the sale rules altogether.
- Fees and utilities are capped in specific places — Entrance and exit fees are prohibited, as are renewal fees and fees to work out whether a resident qualifies for a one-year term. A late payment fee needs a lease provision, may not exceed five percent of the rent due or $5, and may only be charged once rent is five days late. A resale inspection may be charged once in twelve months at no more than $60. A park owner reselling a utility service may not charge above what the utility charges it.
- There is no state cap on lot rent and no rent board — Maryland does not limit lot-rent increases statewide and does not offer an administrative challenge. A resident's routes are a civil action under the act, a retaliation claim worth up to three months' rent plus fees and costs, and a complaint to the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of the Attorney General. State law expressly leaves room for local governments to add protections, provided they do not cut back the rights the act gives.
- Nothing in the act protects a for-sale sign — The act bars a park owner from preventing a sale in the park or requiring the home to be moved because of it, and requires that approval of a buyer not be unreasonably withheld, but says nothing about advertising the home. A sign is governed by the park rules, which must be in writing, delivered to each resident, posted, fair, reasonable and applied uniformly, and which a court may refuse to enforce as unconscionable.
Common questions: Maryland mobile home park law
Each answer is the verified value from the tables above, restated as a direct answer. Free to quote with a link to this page.
- How much notice must a Maryland park give before raising lot rent?
- 60 days. A park owner renewing a lease of a year or more with a higher rent must give the resident notice of the increase at least sixty days before the existing agreement expires.
- Is there a limit on how much lot rent can go up in Maryland?
- Maryland sets no state rule on this. Maryland sets no statewide ceiling on lot rent.
- Can a Maryland park owner end a lot tenancy without cause?
- No — a Maryland park may end a lot tenancy only for a listed cause. A park owner may only evict a resident on the grounds the act lists.
- How much notice must a Maryland park give before closing or changing use?
- 12 months. If the use of the land is changed, every resident is entitled to one year's prior written notice of termination, whatever the rental agreement says about a longer term.
- Does a Maryland park have to pay residents' relocation costs when it closes?
- Yes — Maryland law requires a relocation payment when a park closes or changes use. Closing a park with more than ten sites means paying each household relocation assistance.
- Do Maryland residents get a chance to buy the park when it is sold?
- Yes — notice plus an opportunity to negotiate a purchase. Residents get a chance to buy, not a right to match an offer.
- Can a Maryland resident sell the home in place without moving it out of the park?
- Yes — a Maryland resident may sell the home in place. A park owner may not prevent a resident from selling the home in the park, and may not require the home to be removed because of the sale.
