Always check your bills for facts. The mailed paper bill we get is done by a third party and is actual and list all the units we use. The online bill doesn’t always have all that information. If you pay online it’s wise to check it against your paper bill for accuracy. Look at what you paid the last month on your paper bill and see if the online bill records that amount correctly on the next month’s bill. You should also check and compare the water CCF, gas Therms and the electric KwH used.

Utility Bill Accuracy Checklist

1. Keep last month’s paper bill handy

• Note total usage for water (CCF), gas (Therms), and electricity (kWh).

• Record the total amount you paid.

2. Compare online bill vs. paper bill

• Verify that last month’s payment is credited correctly on the current bill.

• Check if usage numbers match exactly.

3. Look for unusual spikes

• Sudden jumps in usage might mean:

• A water leak 🚰

• A malfunctioning appliance 🔌

• Billing errors 🧾

4. Confirm due dates

• Online systems might misreport amounts—double check against paper bills.

5. Save both versions

• Keep a folder (paper or digital photos/scans) for easy comparison if disputes come up.

🐀 Why We’re Seeing Roof Rats

⚠️ Roof rats are smaller, agile rats with long tails, pointed faces, and large ears. They nest in trees, attics, sheds, and walls, and prefer high places—unlike Norway rats, which burrow. Parks are ideal environments because of food waste, water access, and tree cover.

⚠️ Why We Should Be Concerned

Health risk: Rats can carry diseases (like leptospirosis, hantavirus, and salmonella).

Structural damage: They chew wires, insulation, and wood, increasing fire and maintenance risk. Rapid breeding: A single pair can lead to dozens within weeks.

⚠️ - In Homes or in Sheds

1. Set snap traps or electronic traps (avoid glue traps—they’re inhumane and often ineffective).

2. Seal entry points: Close gaps around eaves, vents, or utility lines with steel wool and caulk or hardware cloth.

3. Store food (pet food, bird seed, trash) in sealed containers.

4.Trim tree branches away from roofs and fences.

Mobilehome Parks Bill Passed

• AB 456 by Assemblymember Damon Conolly (D-San Rafael) – Mobile home parks: sales or transfers: prospective purchasers of mobile homes.  https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB456/id/3241542

2025 MRL -- TREES

2025 MRL ---- 798.37.5. TREES AND DRIVEWAYS (a) With respect to trees on rental spaces in a mobilehome park, park management shall be solely responsible for the trimming, pruning, or removal of any tree, and the costs thereof, upon written notice by a homeowner or a determination by park management that the tree poses a specific hazard or health and safety violation. In the case of a dispute over that assertion, the park management or a homeowner may request an inspection by the Department of Housing and Community Development or a local agency responsible for the enforcement of the Mobilehome Parks Act (Part 2.1 (commencing with Section 18200) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code) in order to determine whether a violation of that act exists.

 2025 MRL

AB861

AB 861 is in full effect. If your park is enforcing a rule prohibiting residents from renting while continuing to rent park-owned units, they’re violating the law. Enforcement is via courts (MRL lawsuits) and HCD’s MRLPP, which can facilitate investigations and even connect homeowners with free legal aid.

What does AB 861 require?

• Park management must follow its own no-rental/sublease rules, just like residents do — even for park-owned homes .

• Exceptions:

• Only for housing onsite employees (with limits: 2 units, plus one more per 200 homes) .

• Tenancies that began before Jan 1, 2022, are grandfathered .

• Exemptions apply if the park is nonprofit or government-owned with affordability restrictions .

How is it enforced when parks violate the law?

1. Civil enforcement—courts

If a park owner rents or subleases park-owned homes while prohibiting residents, residents can bring a civil lawsuit under the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL: Civil Code § 798 et seq.) .

2. State assistance via HCD’s MRL Protection Program

The California Department of Housing & Community Development (HCD) runs the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP), allowing homeowners to file complaints starting July 1, 2020. HCD helps resolve severe violations, refers cases for free legal enforcement, and can investigate systemic issues .

3. Health & Safety Code enforcement

If the violations also involve park infrastructure (e.g., utility, maintenance issues), then enforcement falls under the Mobilehome Parks Act, handled by HCD or local agencies under Title 25 regulations

What you can do if your park is violating AB 861:

1. File a complaint with HCD’s MRL Protection Program

• Eligible if you own the mobilehome and rent space.

• HCD will review, assist, and may escalate for legal action.

2. File a lawsuit under the Mobilehome Residency Law

• Seek injunctions, damages, or relief through small claims or civil court.

3. Document everything

• Keep copies of park rules, your rental agreement, notices, and any park-owned rentals in violation.
