CIVIL CODE

SECTION 800.300-800.306

800.300. As used in this article:
(a) "Ownership or management" means the ownership or management of
a cooperative or condominium for floating homes.
(b) "Resident" means a person who maintains a residence in a
cooperative or condominium for floating homes.

800.301. A resident may advertise the sale or exchange of his or
her floating home or, if not prohibited by the terms of an agreement
with the management or ownership, may advertise the rental of his or
her floating home by displaying a sign in the window of his or her
floating home stating that the floating home is for sale or exchange
or, if not prohibited, for rent by the owner of the floating home or
his or her agent. The sign shall state the name, address, and
telephone number of the owner of the floating home or his or her
agent, and shall be 24 inches in width and 18 inches in length.

800.302. The ownership or management shall not show or list for
sale a floating home owned by a resident without first obtaining the
resident's written authorization. The authorization shall specify the
terms and conditions regarding the showing or listing.

800.303. The ownership or management shall not require the removal
of a floating home from a cooperative or condominium in the event of
its sale to a third party.

800.304. The ownership or management may require the right to prior
approval of the purchaser of a floating home that will remain in the
cooperative or condominium for floating homes and that the selling
resident or his or her agent give notice of the sale to the ownership
or management before the close of the sale. Approval cannot be
withheld if the purchaser has the financial ability to pay the fees
and charges of the cooperative or condominium unless the ownership or
management reasonably determines that, based on the purchaser's
prior residences, he or she will not comply with the rules and
regulations of the cooperative or condominium.

800.305. No agreement shall contain any provision by which the
purchaser waives his or her rights under this article. Any waiver
thereof shall be deemed contrary to public policy and void and
unenforceable.

800.306. This chapter applies only to the relationship between the
management and the homeowners and residents of floating home marinas.
Nothing in this chapter affects residential use of tide and
submerged lands, including the public trust doctrine or any
legislative grant of tide and submerged lands to a public entity, or
the administration of these lands by the State Lands Commission or a
legislative grantee. In addition, this chapter does not supplant,
lessen, modify, or otherwise affect past or future regulation of
floating homes or floating home marinas by the San Francisco Bay
Conservation and Development Commission pursuant to the
McAteer-Petris Act.
