LONG TERM LEASES

AB 2782 Lawsuit Update

As you are aware, Western Manufactured Homes Association (WMA) and Sandalwood Estates, LLC, filed a lawsuit against Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta in their official capacities in late December 2023 for declaratory and injunctive relief to overturn Assembly Bill 2782 that eliminated long term leases from exemption under local rent control.

 

On December 13, 2024, the Supreme Court of the State of California held a Hearing on Motion for Preliminary Injunction and the matter was argued and submitted. At this time, the Court has taken the matter under submission and decision is yet to be made.

 

Staff will continue to keep you apprised of this matter as more information becomes available.  Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 760-435-3377.

Under Mobilehome Residency Law, specifically State Civil Code Section 798.15, rental agreements must be in writing and provide for a number of provisions including Subsection (i), which requires a copy of a prescribed notice to be included in the rental agreement and that requires  management to also, prior to February 1 of each year, provide a copy of such  notice to all homeowners. 

 

Assembly Bill 2399, passed this year by the State Legislature and effective January 2025, now requires additional information regarding the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program, and how to contact the program, to be included in a specified notice of a mobilehome owner and mobilehome park’s rights and responsibilities that the mobilehome park must provide to all mobilehome owners on an annual basis and as part of the rental agreement.

 

For your convenience please find attached a copy of the specified Annual Notice effective January 2025 in accordance with AB 2399.  This information is also available on our website for Documents and Resources.
