In Creekside there is a Rent Stabilization Ordinance in effect from the city of San Luis Obispo.

No, state law does not regulate the amount of a rent increase in a mobilehome park. Rent stabilization is a “local
control issue”. The MRL does require a park to give residents a 90-day advance written notice of a rent increase
(Civil Code §798.30). If residents are on a long-term lease, the lease will govern the percentage and frequency of
rent increases, with increases not less than every 90 days as required by law. Prior to 2021, Civil Code 798.17 (a) (1)
provided that, if residents sign a long-term lease of more than one year in length that lease is exempt from any
local rent ordinance provisions. However, AB 2782, passed by the legislature in 2020, significantly amended the
Civil Code 798.17 exemption. As of January 1, 2021, any long-term lease signed on or after February 13, 2020 is no
longer exempt from local rent stabilization, and the rent regulations in the local ordinance will take precedence. In
addition, all long-term leases signed prior to February 13, 2020 shall continue to be exempt from local rent
stabilization, but only until they expire, or until January 1, 2025, whichever occurs first. (Note: Approximately 104
local jurisdictions (cities and counties) have some form of rent stabilization for mobilehome parks.)
Recap:
● State law does not regulate the amount of a rent increase. It is a local control issue.
● A 90-day advance written notice of rent increase is required.
● If resident is on a long-term lease, check the language in lease for frequency (not less than every 90 days) and
percentage of increases.
