41 .         Termination if vacant possession required on sale of park

        (1)         A park operator may give a notice of termination to a long-stay tenant on the grounds that the park operator has entered into a contract for the sale of park premises and is required under the contract to give vacant possession of the agreed premises.

        (2)         The notice of termination must —

            (a)         state that the park operator intends to terminate the long-stay agreement under this section; and

            (b)         specify the day (the specified day ) on or before which the park operator requires the long-stay tenant to give vacant possession of the agreed premises to the park operator; and

            (c)         comply with section 38.

        (3)         The specified day —

            (a)         for an on-site home agreement — must be at least 60 days after the day on which the notice is given; and

            (b)         for a site-only agreement — must be at least 180 days after the day on which the notice is given; and

            (c)         for a fixed term tenancy —

                  (i)         if the long-stay tenant agrees in writing — may be a day earlier than the last day of the term of the tenancy; or

                  (ii)         if the long-stay tenant does not agree in writing — must not be a day earlier than the last day of the term of the tenancy;

                and

            (d)         for a periodic tenancy — may be a day earlier than the last day of a period of the tenancy.

        [(4)         deleted]

        (5)         A park operator must not knowingly give a notice of termination that falsely claims or falsely implies that grounds exist for terminating the long-stay agreement under this section.

        Penalty for this subsection: a fine of $10 000.
