What happens if a manufactured home is sold without being properly inspected?

Selling a manufactured home without a proper inspection can lead to legal penalties because the law often mandates inspections for safety and compliance reasons. If a home does not meet the required standards, it can pose risks to future occupants and violate state regulations. Authorities may impose sanctions to enforce compliance with inspection requirements. This serves to protect buyers from potential hazards and ensures that homes adhere to established safety codes. Failing to conduct a proper inspection undermines these protections and can result in penalties for the dealer, emphasizing the importance of adhering to legal obligations in the sale of manufactured homes.
