        (b)     the person intends to offer the premises for sale.

    (2)     The person must not display a sign about the sale in or on the premises or in the residential park unless—

        (c)     prevents the person from displaying a sign about the sale.

    (5)     An operator of a residential park is not taken to hinder a person's sale of their premises only because the operator—

        (b)     has reasonably refused to consent to a proposed assignment of the person's interest in the site agreement.
