LONG TERM LEASES ADDED TO MOBILEHOME PARK RENT CONTROLS EFFECTIVE JAN 1, 2025.

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, prescribes various terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law exempts a rental agreement in a mobilehome park that is in excess of 12 months’ duration, and that meets other specified requirements, from local ordinances and initiative measures that establish a maximum amount that a landlord may charge a tenant for rent, commonly referred to as rent control.

AB 2782 would prohibit the above-described exemption from rent control in mobilehome parks for rental agreements from applying to a rental agreement entered into on or after February 13, 2020. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2025. The bill would declare that these provisions are severable. This bill would make related findings and declarations.

Spaces that are not the principal residence of the mobilehome owner, park-owned mobilehomes, and recreational vehicles that have occupied a mobilehome space less than nine (9) months are exempt from the provisions of the MHRSO and from administrative fees.

The CPI for July 2024, as released by the United States Department of Labor in August 2024, is listed as 2.9%.
