AI Summary

  • Exempts mobilehome spaces from local rent control ordinances if the space is not used as "permanent housing" by the homeowner or an approved tenant, replacing the previous 30-consecutive-day occupancy standard

  • Defines "permanent housing" as a residence with clear evidence of intent for indefinite or continuous occupancy, explicitly excluding seasonal vacation homes and short-term rentals

  • Requires park management to provide homeowners written notice, an explanation of their determination, and supporting documents before modifying rent or tenancy terms based on non-permanent housing status

  • Creates a rebuttable presumption in favor of homeowners who submit a statement refuting management's claim that the space is not being used as permanent housing, shifting the burden of proof to management

  • Maintains exemptions from rent increases for mobilehomes actively listed for sale or where the park prohibits subleasing, and adds an exemption for mobilehomes repossessed through foreclosure or surrender
