(1) Any entrance or exit fee for assuming or leaving occupancy of a manufactured home lot.

(2) Any transfer or selling fee or commission as a condition to permitting a tenant to sell his or her manufactured home or recreational vehicle within the manufactured home park, even if the manufactured home or recreational vehicle is to remain within the park, unless the landlord is licensed as a dealer of manufactured homes pursuant to NRS 489.311 and has acted as the tenant’s agent in the sale pursuant to a written contract.

(3) Any fee for the tenant’s spouse or children.
