Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, governs tenancies in mobilehome parks, and imposes various duties on the owners of mobilehome parks and the agents and representatives authorized to act on behalf of the owners. Existing law exempts a rental agreement from any local ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative that establishes a maximum amount that a landlord may charge a tenant for rent if a mobilehome space within a mobilehome park is not the principal residence, as defined, of the mobilehome owner. Existing law requires the management of a mobilehome park to give a prospective homeowner a document containing specified information within 2 business days of receiving a request from the prospective homeowner for an application for residency in the mobilehome park if the management has been advised that the mobilehome occupying the requested space is for sale. Under existing law, the management must also provide a copy of the rules and regulations of the park at the prospective homeowner's request.
