LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 470, as introduced, Stone. The Mobilehome Residency Law: tenancy: termination.The Mobilehome Residency Law governs residency in mobilehome parks and includes provisions that are applicable to those who have an ownership interest in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes, or a resident-owned mobilehome park, as specified. Among other things, these provisions set forth the rights of residents and homeowners regarding the use of the property.Existing law prohibits mobilehome park management from terminating or refusing to renew a tenancy except for specified reasons, including, among other reasons, conduct by the homeowner or resident, upon the park premises, that constitutes a substantial annoyance to other homeowners or residents. Existing law requires the management to set forth in a notice of termination the reason relied upon for the termination with specific facts to permit determination of the date, place, witnesses, and circumstances concerning that reason.This bill would also authorize mobilehome park management to terminate a tenancy for commission of acts that are outrageous in the extreme, on the mobilehome park premises or in the immediate vicinity of the premises, including, various acts of violence or threats against a person. The bill would require any notice of termination of tenancy to provide for a 3-day notice to vacate the premises and an eviction to be supported at trial by evidence from another resident of the park or from law enforcement personnel.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.
