Section 14.12.1.12 - STANDARD OF CONDUCT

A. Any dealer, salesperson, or broker who receives any consideration for arranging the transfer of equity or the assumption of a loan on a manufactured home shall ascertain whether such manufactured home has a lien or security interest filed on it with the motor vehicle division of the New Mexico department of taxation and revenue. Such licensee shall insure that written consent is obtained from the holder of the lien or security interest, if any, approving the transferee's assumption of the transferor's obligation to the lien holder within ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the transfer. For purposes of this subsection, "assumption of a loan" means any substitution or attempt to substitute the responsible persons on the contract or agreement of repayment of amounts owed to a lender and includes "wraparound" agreements.

B. No licensee shall aid or abet an unlicensed person to evade the provisions of the act or these rules; knowingly combine or conspire with, or act as an agent, partner, or associate for an unlicensed person.

C. It is a violation of the Manufactured Housing Act and these rules to act outside the scope of or to misrepresent intentionally or unintentionally the scope of any license issued by the division.

D. All conditions of a sales contract signed by a dealer or broker and homeowner must be completed within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery unless otherwise signed and agreed to by both parties.
