Mobilehome Residency Law Mediation Act.

The Mobilehome Residency Law governs residency 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.

This bill would also establish the Mobilehome Residency Law Mediation Fund, for the fees collected by the Attorney General and the Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to the above provisions. This bill would impose a $10 assessment on landlords for each mobilehome within the community and a $250 late fee, as provided.
