Mobilehomes: resident-owned mobilehome parks.

The Mobilehome Residency Law governs the terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks and defines a mobilehome park for purposes of these provisions. The law also sets forth separate provisions that govern, and are only applicable to, the rights of a resident who has an ownership interest in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes or a resident-owned mobilehome park in which the resident's mobilehome is located or installed. Existing law provides, notwithstanding these provisions, that in a mobilehome park owned and operated by a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation, as specified, whose members consist of park residents where there is no recorded condominium plan, tract, parcel map, or declaration, those specified provisions of the Mobilehome Residency Law govern the rights of members who are residents that have a rental agreement with the corporation. This bill would instead provide that specified portions of the Mobilehome Residency Law govern the rights of members of certain nonprofit mutual benefit corporations who are residents that rent their space from the corporation. The bill would also exclude nonprofit mutual benefit corporations whose members consist of park residents where there is no recorded subdivision declaration or condominium plan from the provisions described above. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
