Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Fairer Park Sale Terms for Homeowners

Beginning January 1, 2027, bundled property sale notices must disclose discounts or changed prices, terms, or conditions tied to the bundle. Homeowners bidding only on the park must receive its proportional share of those changes on the same terms. Except for stated exempt transactions and federal Section 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, sales must be independent and in good faith. Landlords cannot collude with buyers or use anticompetitive practices mainly to inflate prices above fair market value or block homeowner purchases. Claimed exemptions must serve a legitimate business or family purpose, be made in good faith, and not mainly avoid purchase rights.

Homeowner Park Offers Get Fairer Review

Beginning January 1, 2027, landlords must fairly review homeowner-group or assignee offers received after the required purchase-opportunity notice. They cannot disqualify offers based on the closing, financing, inspection, appraisal, title, or purchase-review terms protected by the law. Landlords must accept or reject an offer in writing within seven calendar days. Rejections must explain why and identify potentially acceptable terms for a later offer; those terms must apply to all buyers. During the extra 120-day closing period, the group or assignee must have at least 90 days to investigate the deal.

Homeowners Get More Park Sale Information

Beginning January 1, 2027, notices for covered park sales or changes of use must be mailed in English and Spanish by certified mail. Notices also go to the city clerk, or county clerk in unincorporated areas. Homeowners can request price support, infrastructure details, current rent and vacancy records, and three years of maintenance and operating records. A participating homeowner group or its assignee preparing an offer can reasonably request these records, the full sale agreement, and other purchase-review information. The landlord must provide those materials within seven calendar days. Separately, a group or assignee approved by at least 51% of homeowners can make a written request for detailed transaction records. Those records are due within 14 calendar days and include ownership, related agreements and entities, buyer financing, price calculations, and the full sale agreement. Specified public agencies also have access to the detailed transaction information.

More Mobile Home Residents Get Protections

The law covers parks with at least five mobile homes where management has a rental agreement or receives rent. Rent can come from a resident or third party, and the landlord can own every home. Separate parcels qualify within the same neighborhood, as determined by the state division. Mobile home subdivisions and properties zoned for manufactured home subdivisions are excluded. Covered premises include facilities, applicable utilities, and grounds offered for residents’ or homeowners’ use. The law applies to conduct beginning January 1, 2027. A referendum petition filed within 90 days after final adjournment requires voter approval at the November 2026 general election. With that approval, the start date is January 1, 2027, or the governor’s declaration date, whichever is later.

Stronger Housing Protections for Park Residents

Beginning January 1, 2027, landlords need a final government order before seeking to end a homeowner’s tenancy over covered legal violations. This covers local ordinances and state laws or rules about mobile homes or lots. During a temporary ban on rent increases or rent-increase notices, landlords must notify all residents in writing. The notice must explain the ban and say rent will not increase while it lasts. Landlords must use the required notice method within 14 days after learning of the ban.

Park Registration Charges Allowed but Capped

Beginning January 1, 2027, landlords pay a state-set annual registration fee for each independently owned mobile home on rented park land. The Division of Housing can adjust the fee to cover complaint costs and must review it annually against program costs. Landlords can charge residents part of the fee only when division rules allow it. A homeowner’s or resident’s annual charge cannot exceed $17 or half the fee, whichever is less. Collected registration fees go into the designated program fund, and fee adjustments must respect the resident-charge cap.
