California Mobile Home Park Operator Resources

Quick-reference guides for operating a mobile home park in California — covering rent control, eviction process, lease law, and market data. Governed by Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL).

Rent Control

Rent Control in California

California does not have statewide MHP rent control, but specific cities and counties have adopted local caps. Statewide statute imposes notice requirements regardless of location.

Eviction Process

Eviction Process in California

Mobile home park evictions in California typically take longer than apartment evictions because the resident often owns the home. This is the step-by-step process under Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL), with notice periods, court timelines, and operator best practices.

Lease Law

Lease Law in California

Lease requirements for mobile home parks in California go beyond standard residential lease language. Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) imposes MHP-specific provisions that don't apply to apartments. This guide covers the disclosures, notice formats, and clauses operators in California should include.

Market Data

Market Data in California

California has roughly 3,900 mobile home parks with about 460,000 lots and average lot rent near $950 per month — the 3rd-largest U.S. market by park count in this dataset. Statewide rent regulation reaches mobile-home lots; value-add leans on infill and occupancy, not rent ratchets.
