Mobilehome parks: rent control.

The Mobilehome Residency Law governs the terms and conditions of residency in mobilehome parks, and exempts a rental agreement that satisfies specified criteria from any ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure adopted by a local governmental entity that establishes a maximum amount a landlord may charge a tenant for rent. This bill would authorize the legislative body of a local governmental entity to publish a notice of preparation of and prepare a regional mobilehome park rent survey, as defined, and to consider, approve, or approve with changes the survey at a public hearing, as specified. Within 12 months following the approval of the survey, the bill would authorize the legislative body to limit the base rent amount for a mobilehome rental agreement meeting certain conditions. The bill would also authorize interested persons to seek judicial review of the approved survey or limited base rent amount.
