Selling home without property

[Sharsh77]

we are currently trying to sell out home. We do not own the property. We have a month to month lease. The property owner has the property up for sale through a realtor. Is it legal to still sell our home? The property itself is zoned for mobile homes only, therefore we assumed when a buyer actually buys the land lots for sale they would renew a lease with whoever buys our home.

Never assume anything. If you own title to the mobile home (that it has not been permanently attached to the land), then its legal for you to sell it. In fact, you should expect your lease be terminated with a month's notice sometime soon. You might want to reach out to the agent that is selling the land, to see if she wants to also handle the home. You shouldn't assume anything. Nothing says the new buyer wants the existing home on their property.

For clarity's sake are you saying that this is a mobile home park and the owner is trying to sell the entire park? Or, are you saying that the individual lots are owned by individuals and the owner of your single lot is trying to sell it?

Not mobile home park. It's a private land lot.

Yes, we do have title and it's not permanently placed here.

What US state?

Of course, you can sell it legally. You will need to disclose the status of the lease for the land it is own.

Then I agree that you should not have an expectation that the new owner of the land will want a renter with a mobile home on the land.

Michigan

The property owner said we would receive a 30 day notice some time in the mail. Does this mean we only have 30 days to sell and have moved?

Yes

 

[Sharsh77]

Yes

OKay, thank you. Also just out of curiousity, if we are unable to sell or move ourselves do we get charged for leaving it here?

To clarify, it's five private lots each next to one another at a dead end road. There are three mobiles homes in place that are to old to move. Also without occupants

It is five lots all next to each other at a dead end road. Three lots have mobile homes on them that are two old to move.

Just for the record, there will be nothing to stop you from contacting the new owner when there is one, and asking if you can continue to rent land from him or her.
