LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 761, as amended, Charles Calderon. Mobilehomes: rent control.
The Mobilehome Residency Law generally regulates the terms and
conditions of mobilehome tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law
permits rent control in mobilehome parks. Existing law exempts
certain rental agreements relating to mobilehomes from any local
measure establishing the maximum amount that a landlord may charge a
tenant for rent.
This bill would provide , in addition, that
, upon the sale, assignment, transfer, or termination of
an interest in a mobilehome or a mobilehome tenancy in a mobilehome
park, the management of the park may offer a new rental agreement
containing an initial rent that is the lesser of an amount
in excess of the maximum rent established by a local
measure by specified percentages, which would increase,
beginning January 1, 2011, up to 100% of the last-charged rent, or
market levels, as specified. The bill would except certain mobilehome
parks from its provisions, including those that have common
facilities that have been cited as health and safety risks that
remain unabated for 6 months or longer. The bill would provide that,
after an increase in initial rent, the rent should be governed by the
local measure a minimum of 20% or $100, whichever is
greater, as specified. The bill would permit not more than one
increase within a 36-month period, as specified . The bill
would specify that it does not apply to rental rate adjustments
provided under a local rent control ordinance that are in
excess of what the bill's provisions would permit, or that
are not subject to a local rent control ordinance and does not
apply under other specified circumstances .
