This is a presentation I gave to a tenants' group recently on the topic of California's MRL. It is worth noting that the MRL gives mobilehome resident-homeowners protections, especially pertaining to evictions/unlawful detaines, but does not automatically provide protection from rental increases. The exception would be if you are covered under AB978, which this presentation will cover.
Here are some acronyms you might want defined from the onset.
MRLPA:
In 2018, Governor Brown signed AB 3066, also known as the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Act (MRLPA) which was scheduled to last for 5 years. The goal of the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Act was to balance the rights of mobilehome owners and mobilehome park owners.
MRL:
The Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) governs the landlord-tenant relations between mobilehome parks and mobilehome owners. It has been likened to the landlord-tenant law for mobilehome parks.
MRLPP:
The Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP) provides a channel for homeowners of mobilehomes or manufactured homes to submit a complaint for violations of the MRL. Under the MRLPP, the CA Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is charged with authority to investigate resident complaints, and enforce rights, arising under the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL).
My absolute best single suggestion if you are a mobilehome resident-homeowner with questions about your rights about your tenancy, including billing and treatment by the management, is to start with the CA HCD's Mobilehome Assistance Center (MAC). Their contact information is available in this presentation and is also below:
