Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, governs tenancies in mobilehome parks and includes provisions that are applicable to those who have an ownership interest in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes, or a resident-owned mobilehome park, as specified. Among other things, these provisions set forth the rights of residents and homeowners regarding the use of the property.
Existing law exempts the rental of certain mobilehome spaces by a homeowner, if the mobilehome space is not the principal residence of the homeowner and the homeowner has not rented the mobilehome to another party, from any ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure adopted by any city, county, or city and county, that establishes a maximum amount that the landlord may charge a tenant for rent, as specified.
This bill would, instead, apply that exemption to the rental of certain mobilehome spaces by a homeowner only if the mobilehome space is not the only or principal residence of the homeowner.
Existing law provides that, for purposes of the above provisions, a mobilehome is deemed to be the principal residence of the homeowner unless a review of state or county records demonstrate otherwise, as specified, and establishes procedures for the modification of rent or other terms of tenancy as a result of that review, as specified.
This bill would, instead, provide that before modifying the rent or other terms of tenancy as a result of learning, through a review of state or county records, that the mobilehome space is not the only or principal residence of a homeowner, the management shall notify the homeowner, as specified.
Existing law makes certain rental agreements exempt from the above provisions.
This bill would limit those exemptions to mobilehomes that are actively held available for sale, as specified.
