Mobilehome parks: termination of tenancy: failure to comply with a rule or regulation
AB 1817 requires mobilehome park managers to give detailed, formally served notices before terminating a tenancy for a park-rule violation.
Homeowners and residents receive clearer information about alleged violations and how to correct them before a rule-based eviction can proceed.
What the law does
- Requires management to serve a written alleged-violation notice using the legally prescribed method.
- Requires the notice to quote each allegedly violated rule, state specific facts about the date, place, or circumstances, and identify the action needed to comply.
- Keeps the seven-day opportunity to comply after notice before an act or omission constitutes a rule violation for termination purposes.
- Preserves management’s burden to prove that a rule or regulation was actually violated.
- Retains the exception to further notice after three or more notices for violations of the same rule within 12 months.
Who it affects
- Mobilehome park homeowners and residents accused of violating park rules.
- Mobilehome park management seeking to terminate a tenancy for a rule violation.
