Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program: Attorney General

The law requires faster referrals of specified mobilehome-park complaints to legal-services providers and shifts the program from contracts to grants by 2029. It also supports Attorney General enforcement with appropriated program funds.

What the law does ​

• Requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to refer alleged Mobilehome Residency Law, park conversion or closure, and related local-ordinance violations to nonprofit legal-services providers within five days.
• Allows referrals of alleged local-ordinance violations, rent disputes, criminal activity, and discrimination matters to the appropriate enforcement agency.
• Requires a grant process for qualified nonprofit legal-services providers to be operational by July 1, 2029, while maintaining existing contracts to avoid service gaps.
• Bars grant-funded providers from charging referred homeowners or denying services based on income or other financial information.
• Makes Mobilehome Dispute Resolution Fund money available, if appropriated, to the department or Attorney General for program implementation and enforcement.
• Extends the program’s sunset date from January 1, 2027, to June 30, 2033.

Who it affects ​

• Mobilehome park homeowners and residents submitting complaints.
• Mobilehome park management and owners.
• Nonprofit legal-services providers handling referred complaints.
• The Department of Housing and Community Development and the Attorney General.
