Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Mobilehome residents can add cooling

The law voids any park or HOA rule that stops you from installing, upgrading, replacing, or using a cooling system. Owners and managers cannot charge fees, force a specific product or contractor, take your rebates or credits, or require removal or block upgrades. Your tenancy cannot be ended for installing or using a legal cooling system. A cooling system can be a window or portable AC, an evaporative cooler, a fan system, a heat pump, or similar. Systems must meet health and safety rules.

Penalties and attorney fees for cooling violations

If an owner or manager willfully violates these cooling rights, they owe actual damages to the harmed person. The court can also order a civil penalty up to $2,000 per violation. In a lawsuit to enforce these rules, the winning party gets reasonable attorney’s fees.

When parks and HOAs can deny cooling

Owners or managers can refuse or limit a cooling system only if it would break federal, state, or local law. They can also refuse if a required permit is not granted. They can refuse if the lot’s power cannot handle the system’s amperage, with written proof from a government enforcement authority. These limits apply in parks and in mobilehome subdivisions, cooperatives, condos, and resident‑owned parks.
