Summary

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, generally regulates the terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law requires, if a mobilehome space within a mobilehome park is not the principal residence of the homeowner and the homeowner has not rented the mobilehome to another party, that the mobilehome space be exempt from rent control. Existing law requires that, for the purposes of these provisions, a mobilehome be deemed to be the principal residence of a homeowner, except in specified circumstances. This exemption does not apply if the homeowner is unable to rent or lease the mobilehome because the owner or management of the mobilehome park, or the rental agreement, limits or prohibits assignment or subletting. This bill would, instead, apply the above exemption from rent control to a mobilehome located on a space within a mobilehome park that is not the homeowner's principal residence without regard to whether the homeowner has rented the mobilehome to another party, except as specified. The bill would also expand and clarify the basis for determining whether a mobilehome is the homeowner's principal residence and would set forth factors that would constitute sufficient evidence that a mobilehome is not the homeowner's principal residence.
