Summary

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, prescribes various terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law defines "tenancy" for these purposes as the right of a homeowner to use a site within a mobilehome park on which to locate, maintain, and occupy a mobilehome for human habitation, including the use of the services and facilities of the park. Existing law, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, prohibits, with certain exceptions, an owner of residential real property from increasing the gross rental rate for a dwelling or unit more than 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, as defined, or 10%, whichever is lower, of the lowest gross rental rate charged for the immediately preceding 12 months, subject to specified conditions. Existing law excludes an owner or operator of a mobilehome park and an owner of a mobilehome or their agent from these provisions. This bill would, until January 1, 2030, prohibit the management of a mobilehome park from increasing the gross rental rate for a tenancy for a mobilehome space more than 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, as defined, or 10%, whichever is lower, of the lowest gross rental rate charged for the immediately preceding 12 months, as specified. The bill would prohibit management of a mobilehome park from increasing the gross rental rate for a tenancy in more than 2 increments over a 12-month period, after the tenant maintains a tenancy over a 12-month period. The bill would exempt specified mobilehome spaces from these provisions, including, among others, mobilehome spaces restricted by deed, regulatory restriction contained in an agreement with a government agency, or other recorded document as affordable for very low, low-, or moderate-income persons and families and mobilehome spaces within a resident-owned mobilehome park. The bill would specify that these provisions apply to rent increases for mobilehome spaces occurring on or after February 20, 2020. The bill would provide that in the event that management increased the rent by more than the amount specified above between February 20, 2020, and January 1, 2021, the applicable rent on January 1, 2021, shall be the rent as of February 20, 2020, plus the maximum permissible increase, and that management shall not be liable to the homeowner for any corresponding rent overpayment. The bill would authorize management who increased the rent by less than the amount specified above between February 20, 2020, and January 1, 2021, to increase the rent twice within 12 months of February 20, 2020, but not by more than the amount specified above. The bill would void any waiver of the rights under these provisions. Existing law, the Tenant Protection Act of 2019, prohibits, until January 1, 2030, an owner of residential real property from terminating the tenancy of certain tenants without just cause, either at-fault or no-fault of the tenant. The act exempts certain types of residential real properties or residential circumstances from these provisions, including, among others, housing that has been issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years and certain housing that is not owned by specified entities, including a corporation or limited liability corporation in which at least one member is a corporation, if specified notice is provided to the tenant. The act defines the term "owner" to exclude an owner or operator of a mobilehome park and an owner of a mobilehome or their agent from these provisions. This bill would, for purposes of these provisions, redefine the term "owner" to include an owner or operator of a mobilehome park and an owner of a mobilehome or their agent. The bill would exclude mobilehomes from the provision that exempts housing issued a certificate of occupancy within the previous 15 years from the just cause requirements. The bill would exclude certain mobilehomes from these provisions, including mobilehomes that are not owned by the management of a mobilehome park or any of the other entities specified above, if notice is provided to the tenant as specified. The bill would require an owner of a mobilehome subject to these provisions to provide written notice of these provisions to a tenant, as specified.
