                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

TERMINATION OF TENANCY (§ 55.1-1308)

A. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, where a landlord and seller
of a manufactured home have in common (i) one or more owners, (ii) immediate
family members, or (iii) officers or directors, the rental agreement shall be
renewed except for reasons that would justify a termination of the rental
agreement or eviction by the landlord as authorized by this chapter.

B. A landlord may terminate a rental agreement of any length due to a change in
the use of all or any part of a manufactured home park, including conversion to
hotel, motel, or other commercial use, planned unit development, rehabilitation,
or demolition, by delivering to each tenant, by certified mail, a 180-day
written notice stating the date upon which the rental agreement will terminate
and the reason for the termination. Such termination notice requirement shall
not be waived; however, at the request of the tenant, a period of less than 180
days may be agreed upon by both the landlord and tenant in a written agreement
separate from the rental agreement executed after such notice is given. The
notice required by this section may be sent concurrently with the notice of
intent to sell required by &#xA7; 55.1-1308.2.
