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.

§798.37.5
 Trees and Driveways

  1. 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.
  2. With respect to trees in the common areas of a mobilehome park, park management shall be solely responsible for the trimming, pruning, or removal of any tree, and the costs thereof.
  3. Park management shall be solely responsible for the maintenance, repair, replacement, paving, sealing, and the expenses related to the maintenance of all driveways installed by park management including, but not limited to, repair of root damage to driveways and foundation systems and removal. Homeowners shall be responsible for the maintenance, repair, replacement, paving, sealing, and the expenses related to the maintenance of a homeowner installed driveway. A homeowner may be charged for the cost of any damage to the driveway caused by an act of the homeowner or a breach of the homeowner’s responsibilities under the rules and regulations so long as those rules and regulations are not inconsistent with the provisions of this section.
  4. No homeowner may plant a tree within the mobilehome park without first obtaining written permission from the management.
  5. This section shall not apply to alter the terms of any rental agreement in effect prior to January 1, 2001, between the park management and the homeowner regarding the responsibility for the maintenance of trees and driveways within the mobilehome park, except that upon any renewal or extension, the rental agreement shall be subject to this section. This section is not intended to abrogate the content of any existing rental agreement or other written agreements regarding trees or driveways that are in effect prior to January 1, 2001.
  6. This section shall only apply to rental agreements entered into, renewed, or extended on or after January 1, 2001.
  7. Any mobilehome park rule or regulation shall be in compliance with this section.

(Amended by Stats. 2014, Ch. 298, Sec. 1. (AB 2753, Committee on Housing and Community Development) Effective January 1, 2015.)


=====

The 16B inspection for Mission View West requires management to trim or remove some trees so the rent increase will be approved. Star Management is trying to shift the cost and responsibility to the homeowner.

According to the MRL, trees are the responsibility of management if the homeowner came after Jan. 1, 2001. If not, they are the responsibility belongs to the owner.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1157, as amended, Kalra. Tenancy: just cause termination: rent increases. (1) Existing law prohibits the owner of a residential real property from terminating a tenancy without just cause, as defined, after a tenant has continuously and lawfully occupied a residential real property for 12 months. Among other residential real properties or residential circumstances, existing law exempts from these provisions a residential real property, including a mobilehome, that is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit if the owner meets specified criteria and the tenants have been provided a specified written notice of the exemption. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2030. This bill would revise these provisions by removing the exemption for separately alienable residential real property and, instead, only exempting a mobilehome if the above-described criteria are met. The bill would delete the January 1, 2030, repeal date, thereby extending these provisions indefinitely. (2) Existing law prohibits an owner of residential real property, except as specified, from increasing over the course of any 12-month period the gross rental rate for a dwelling or a unit more than 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, or 10%, whichever is lower, of the lowest gross rental rate charged for that dwelling or unit at any time during the 12 months prior to the effective date of the increase, as specified. This bill would reduce the permissible gross rental rate increase under these provisions to the lesser of 2% plus the percentage change in the cost of living, or 5%. Among other residential real properties, existing law exempts from these provisions a residential real property that is alienable separate from the title to any other dwelling unit, including a mobilehome, if the owner meets specified criteria and the tenants have been provided a specified written notice of the exemption. This bill would revise these provisions by removing the exemption for separately alienable residential real property and, instead, only exempting a mobilehome if the above-described criteria are met. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2030. This bill would delete the January 1, 2030, repeal date, thereby extending these provisions indefinitely. (3) Notwithstanding the above-described gross rental rate increase prohibition, existing law, upon the expiration of rental restrictions, as defined, authorizes the owner of affordable housing units that meet certain requirements to establish the initial rental rate for the unit, and also authorizes the owner of an assisted housing development who demonstrates compliance with certain requirements under penalty of perjury to establish the initial unassisted rental rate for units in the assisted housing development. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2030. This bill would remove the January 1, 2030, repeal date, thereby extending the initial rental rate authorizations indefinitely. By extending provisions that require the owner of an assisted housing development to demonstrate compliance with specified requirements under penalty of perjury, the bill would impose a state-mandated program. (4) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Bill Text SECTION 1. Section 1946.2 of the Civil Code is amended to read: 1946.2. (b) For purposes of this section, “just cause” means either of the following: (1) At-fault just cause, which means any of the following: . . . (E) The tenant had a written lease that terminated on or after January 1, 2020, or January 1, 2022, if the lease is for a tenancy in a mobilehome, and after a written request or demand from the owner, the tenant has refused to execute a written extension or renewal of the lease for an additional term of similar duration with similar provisions, provided that those terms do not violate this section or any other provision of law. . . (2) No-fault just cause, which means any of the following: (A) (i) Intent to occupy the residential real property by the owner or the owner’s spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents for a minimum of 12 continuous months as that person’s primary residence. (ii) For leases entered into on or after July 1, 2020, or July 1, 2022, if the lease is for a tenancy in a mobilehome, clause (i) shall apply only if the tenant agrees, in writing, to the termination, or if a provision of the lease allows the owner to terminate the lease if the owner, or the owner’s spouse, domestic partner, children, grandchildren, parents, or grandparents, unilaterally decides to occupy the residential real property. Addition of a provision allowing the owner to terminate the lease as described in this clause to a new or renewed rental agreement or fixed-term lease constitutes a similar provision for the purposes of subparagraph (E) of paragraph (1). (iii) This subparagraph does not apply if the intended occupant occupies a rental unit on the property or if a vacancy of a similar unit already exists at the property. . . . “If the substantial remodel of your unit or demolition of the property as described in this notice of termination is not commenced or completed, the owner must offer you the opportunity to re-rent your unit with a rental agreement containing the same terms as your most recent rental agreement with the owner at the rental rate that was in effect at the time you vacated. You must notify the owner within thirty (30) days of receipt of the offer to re-rent of your acceptance or rejection of the offer, and, if accepted, you must reoccupy the unit within thirty (30) days of notifying the owner of your acceptance of the offer.” (III) A description of the substantial remodel to be completed, the approximate expected duration of the substantial remodel, or if the property is to be demolished, the expected date by which the property will be demolished, together with one of the following: (ia) A copy of the permit or permits required to undertake the substantial remodel or demolition. (ib) Only if a notice is issued pursuant to subclause (II) of clause (ii) and the remodel does not require any permit, a copy of the signed contract with the contractor hired by the owner to complete the substantial remodel, that reasonably details the work that will be undertaken to abate the hazardous materials as described in subclause (II) of clause (ii). (IV) A notification that if the tenant is interested in reoccupying the rental unit following the substantial remodel, the tenant shall inform the owner of the tenant’s interest in reoccupying the rental unit following the substantial remodel and provide to the owner the tenant’s address, telephone number, and email address. (c) Before an owner of residential real property issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for just cause that is a curable lease violation, the owner shall first give notice of the violation to the tenant with an opportunity to cure the violation pursuant to paragraph (3) of Section 1161 of the Code of Civil Procedure. If the violation is not cured within the time period set forth in the notice, a three-day notice to quit without an opportunity to cure may thereafter be served to terminate the tenancy. (d) (1) For a tenancy for which just cause is required to terminate the tenancy under subdivision (a), if an owner of residential real property issues a termination notice based on a no-fault just cause described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b), the owner shall, regardless of the tenant’s income, at the owner’s option, do one of the following: (A) Assist the tenant to relocate by providing a direct payment to the tenant as described in paragraph (3). (B) Waive in writing the payment of rent for the final month of the tenancy, prior to the rent becoming due. (2) If an owner issues a notice to terminate a tenancy for no-fault just cause, the owner shall notify the tenant in the written termination notice of the tenant’s right to relocation assistance or rent waiver pursuant to this section. If the owner elects to waive the rent for the final month of the tenancy as provided in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1), the notice shall state the amount of rent waived and that no rent is due for the final month of the tenancy. (3) (A) The amount of relocation assistance or rent waiver shall be equal to one month of the tenant’s rent that was in effect when the owner issued the notice to terminate the tenancy. Any relocation assistance shall be provided within 15 calendar days of service of the notice. (B) If a tenant fails to vacate after the expiration of the notice to terminate the tenancy, the actual amount of any relocation assistance or rent waiver provided pursuant to this subdivision shall be recoverable as damages in an action to recover possession. . .

(a) At the time of initial registration or any subsequent reregistration, manufactured home park owners shall pay to the City of Oceanside such registration fee for each manufactured home rental space within the park, as established by resolution of the city council, except such spaces that are exempt from such fee because of a space rental agreement that meets the requirements of Section 798.17 of the California Civil Code.

(d) No petition will be accepted from any park owner for a space rent ceiling adjustment of any kind, no hearing or other proceeding shall be scheduled or take place, and [no] space rent ceiling adjustment [shall be] granted or take effect for any manufactured home park for which there is an unpaid registration fee.

(e) No exemption from the space rent ceiling limitation by reason of the existence of a valid park rent agreement shall be effective for any manufactured home park for which there is an unpaid registration fee.
