Overview
This bill would establish a statewide rent cap for mobilehome parks, limiting the amount by which park management can increase rental rates. The cap is based on either a 3% increase plus the change in the cost of living or a 5% increase, whichever is lower. Currently, the cap applied only to parks governed by two or more cities, but this bill would extend it statewide. The bill also includes provisions regarding rent increases for new tenancies and addresses situations where management has already increased rents above the allowable amount.
Key provisions
- Sets a rent increase cap of 3% plus the cost of living or 5%, whichever is lower.
- Applies the rent cap statewide, regardless of the number of cities governing the park.
- Provides specific rules for rent increases for new tenancies.
- Addresses rent overpayments if management exceeded the allowable increase.
- Excludes certain mobilehome spaces from the rent cap, such as those with affordability restrictions or used for student housing.
- Specifies how the cost of living will be calculated using the Consumer Price Index.
- Establishes a sunset date for the law's effectiveness.
