(2) Prior to the sale of a lot, the declarant shall offer to sell the lot to the tenant who occupies the lot. The offer required under this subsection:

(a) Terminates 60 days after receipt of the offer by the tenant or upon written rejection of the offer, whichever occurs first; and

(b) Does not constitute a notice of termination of the tenancy.

(3) For 60 days after termination of the offer required under subsection (2) of this section, the declarant may not sell the lot to a person other than the tenant at a price or on terms that are more favorable to the purchaser than the price or terms that were offered to the tenant.

(4) After the manufactured dwelling park or mobile home park has been submitted for subdivision under ORS § 92.830 to 92.845 and until a lot is offered for sale in accordance with subsection (2) of this section, the declarant shall notify a prospective tenant, in writing, prior to the commencement of the tenancy, that the park has been submitted for subdivision and that the tenant is entitled to receive an offer to purchase the lot under subsection (2) of this section.

(5) Prior to the sale of a lot in a subdivision created by conversion of the park, the declarant must provide the tenant or other potential purchaser of the lot with information about the homeowners association formed by the declarant as required by ORS § 94.625. The information must, at a minimum, include the association name and type and any rights set forth in the declaration required by ORS § 94.580.

(6) The declarant may not begin improvements or rehabilitation to the lot during the period described in the landlord’s notice of termination under ORS § 90.645 without the permission of the tenant.

(7) The declarant may begin improvements or rehabilitation to the common property as defined in the declaration during the period described in the landlord’s notice of termination under ORS § 90.645.

(8) If the tenant does not buy the lot occupied by the tenant’s manufactured dwelling or mobile home, the declarant and the tenant may continue the tenancy on the lot after approval of the tentative plan. The rights and responsibilities of tenants who continue their tenancy on the lot in the planned community subdivision of manufactured dwellings are set out in ORS § 90.643.

(9) After approval of the tentative plan and the period provided by subsection (2)(a) of this section, the declarant shall promptly:

(a) Notify the Housing and Community Services Department of the approval.

(b) Provide the department with a street address for each lot in the planned community subdivision of manufactured dwellings that remains available for rental use.

(10) Nothing in this section prevents the declarant from terminating a tenancy in the park in compliance with ORS § 90.630, 90.632 and 90.645. However, the declarant shall make the offer required under subsection (2) of this section to a tenant whose tenancy is terminated after approval of the tentative plan unless the termination is for cause under ORS § 90.392, 90.394, 90.396, 90.630 (1) or (10) or 90.632.
