CA AB768

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
