NJ S3913

Extends the time for resident homeowners in manufactured home communities to exercise their right of first refusal from 45 days to 120 days when a landowner offers the community for sale, and reduces the required approval threshold from two-thirds to 51 percent of residents

Requires landowners to notify the Department of Community Affairs, municipal officials, nonprofit housing organizations, and each resident homeowner by certified mail and direct delivery when offering to sell or receiving a bona fide purchase offer for the community

Removes the exemption that previously allowed sales to proceed without resident notification if the property would continue operating as a manufactured home community, meaning all sales now trigger resident purchase rights

Allows resident homeowner groups to assign their purchase rights to municipalities, housing authorities, state agencies, or nonprofit corporations for the purpose of preserving the community as affordable housing

Establishes enforcement mechanisms including the ability for residents or the Attorney General to file suit in Superior Court, with remedies including voiding sales, actual and punitive damages, and attorney fees, and designates violations as unlawful practices under consumer protection law
