Resident Tenant Protection Ordinance

 

Oceanside reverses course, rejects just cause ordinance on second reading  

September 19, 2025

The Oceanside City Council on Wednesday, Sept. 17 voted down its proposed Residential Tenant Protection Ordinance, marking a significant victory for rental housing providers. During the required second reading, the ordinance’s restrictive provisions failed to secure majority support. 

Council member Rick Robinson delivered thoughtful remarks, citing his discussions with Oceanside housing providers and the robust tenant protections already established under state law. His decision to change his vote was pivotal in defeating the ordinance. 

“Oceanside will continue to operate under the CA Tenant Protection Act,” said Melanie Woods, vice president of local public affairs for the California Apartment Association. “Consistency with state law ensures a balanced approach for both tenants and housing providers.” 

This marks the third time the California Apartment Association has successfully opposed "overly burdensome" just cause eviction restrictions in Oceanside. Similar proposals were previously brought before the council in March 2024 and April 2025. 

On Governor's Desk

An act to add Sections 798.44.2 and 799.13 to the Civil Code, relating to mobilehomes.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 806, Connolly. Mobilehomes: cooling systems.

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, governs tenancies in mobilehome parks and includes provisions that are applicable to those who have an ownership interest in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes, or a resident-owned mobilehome park, as specified. Among other things, these provisions set forth the rights of residents and homeowners regarding the use of the property.

This bill would make any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any rental agreement or other instrument affecting the tenancy of a homeowner or resident in a mobilehome park, in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes, or in a resident-owned mobilehome park that effectively prohibits or restricts the installation, upgrade, replacement, or use of a cooling system, as defined, in a mobilehome void and unenforceable. The bill would make it unlawful for the management or the ownership to prohibit or restrict a homeowner or resident from installing, upgrading, replacing, or using a cooling system in their mobilehome or to take other specified actions in connection with the installation, upgrade, replacement, or use of a cooling system, subject to specified exceptions.

This bill would prohibit the termination of tenancy for the installation, upgrade, replacement, or use of a cooling system. The bill would make any entity that willfully violates these provisions in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes, or a resident-owned mobilehome park liable to the homeowner, resident, or other party for actual damages occasioned thereby, and for a civil penalty paid to the homeowner, resident, or other party in an amount not to exceed $2,000.
