Mobilehome parks: local ordinances.

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, prescribes various terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law exempts new construction, defined as spaces initially held out for rent after January 1, 1990, from any ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure adopted by a city or county, that establishes a maximum amount that a landlord may charge a tenant for rent. This bill would specify that a mobilehome park space shall be considered "initially held out for rent" on the date of issuance of a permit or certificate of occupancy for that space, as specified. The bill would define "new mobilehome park construction" to mean all spaces contained in a newly constructed mobilehome park for which a permit to operate is first issued on or after January 1, 2023, as specified. The bill would limit the above-described exemption for new construction to a period of 15 years from the date upon which the space is initially held out for rent. The bill would create a new exemption for new mobilehome park construction, as defined, for a period of 15 years from the date upon which 50% of the spaces in the new mobilehome park are initially held out for rent measured from the date of issuance of a permit or certificate of occupancy for that space, as specified.
