Mobilehome parks: rental restrictions: management.
Summary
Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, regulates mobilehome parks and subjects the owner of the park and any person employed by the park to all park rules and regulations to the same extent as residents and their guests. Existing law exempts from those provisions any rules and regulations governing the age of residents or guests, and actions that are taken to fulfill a park owner's maintenance, management, and business operation responsibilities. This bill would require management, as defined, to comply with a rule or regulation prohibiting the renting or subleasing of the homeowner's mobilehome or mobilehome space and would prohibit management from renting a mobilehome owned by management except that the bill would authorize management to directly rent up to 2 mobilehomes within the park for the purpose of housing onsite employees, as defined, and would authorize management to directly rent one additional mobilehome for every 200 mobilehomes in the park for that same purpose. The bill would, notwithstanding this limit, also authorize management to continue to directly rent a mobilehome to a tenant if the tenancy was initially established by a rental agreement executed before January 1, 2022, and a tenant listed in the agreement continues to occupy the mobilehome. The bill would exempt specified mobilehomes or mobilehome sites from these provisions, as provided.
