What happens if management charges a fee as a condition of sale?

If management charges a fee as a condition of sale, it is required that this fee must be requested in writing by the homeowner. This ensures transparency and accountability in the transaction process. Documenting the request in writing protects both the homeowner and the management from any misunderstandings or disputes that may arise later. It also establishes a formal record of the fee being assessed, which is important for maintaining proper business practices and compliance with regulatory standards.

This requirement emphasizes the need for clear communication between the homeowner and the management, ensuring that all parties are aware of the financial obligations involved before the transaction is finalized. Consistent documentation practices help maintain trust and professionalism in the sales process, which is crucial in the manufactured homes industry.
