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 in California
California has no general statewide cap on mobilehome space rent — AB 1482 expressly does not apply to a mobilehome homeowner — but Civ. Code §798.30.5 caps increases in a 'qualified mobilehome park', and roughly 100 cities and counties have their own space-rent ordinances.
Eviction ProcessEviction 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 LawLease 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.
