CMPA and WMA successfully had this bill amended so that It would not prohibit park management from denying a homeowner the ability to install a cooling system in the owner\u2019s mobilehome if a park\u2019s electrical system cannot handle the increased load.<br \/>CMPA remained opposed due to the elimination of a parkowner\u2019s ability to prohibit residents from installing air conditioners. The bill included a caveat that parkowner\u2019s can limit the installation of air conditioners when the park\u2019s electrical system cannot handle the load. However, the language is poorly drafted, and it is unclear how a parkowner would determine which residents should or shouldn\u2019t be able to install an air conditioner or who would determine whether a park\u2019s electrical system was at capacity.

After countless discussions, meetings and hearings, CMPA President Jeff Kaplan was able to set up a one-on-one Zoom meeting with the bill\u2019s author, Senator Allen, to explain CMPA\u2019s objections to the bill. It was a good and productive meeting.<br \/>This bill was especially harmful and a challenging issue politically, given the devastating fires in Los Angeles and natural sympathy for fire victims.\u00a0It would have required park owners seeking to sell their property or change its use, to offer to sell it to \u201cqualified entities\u201d designated by the State.\u00a0CMPA successfully opposed and defeated a right of first refusal in 2024. The defeat of SB 749 \u2013 a \u201cforced sell\u201d requirement \u2013 is another important victory.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SB 610<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(Perez, D-Alhambra) <span style=\"color: #a8393e;\"><strong><em>Significantly Amended<\/em><\/strong><\/span><strong> &#8211; Disaster Assistance for Tenants, Mobilehome Parks,<\/strong> <strong>and Mortgage <\/strong>included so many problematic and unconstitutional provisions that it is hard to document them all. This included a rent control provision of 3% plus the percentage change in the CPI up to a maximum of 5% any time during a 12-month period after a state, federal, or local state of emergency is declared. In the event that a parkowner chose to rebuild a mobilehome park, the bill further limited increases in rent to 10% more than the previous rental rate charged for the state. It also required parkowners that owned other parks in California to offer vacant spaces to displaced residents on \u201csubstantially similar\u201d terms. Finally, the bill discharges a residents obligation to pay rent when a park is evacuated.<br \/>CMPA worked with WMA to oppose this bill throughout the year. Senate leadership considered SB 610 part of its wildfire response package. As a consequence, despite our opposition, the bill easily passed out of the state Senate. However, we were able to cause significant problems for the bill in the Assembly Housing Committee where a cadre of moderate Democrats, particularly Assemblymember\u2019s Wilson and Avila-Farias, worked with us to limit the bill\u2019s assault on property rights. With their support the bill was narrowed significantly before it passed out of the Committee. All of the rent control provisions and the requirement to offer spaces in other parks were removed from the bill by the Assembly Housing Committee. As such, the only provisions that remain applicable to mobilehome parks is the requirement for owners to forego rent during an evacuation. With these amendments, WMA removed its opposition to the bill. CMPA remained opposed to the bill, but it was ultimately signed into law by the Governor and will take effect January 1, 2026.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB552\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SB 522<\/strong><\/a> (Wahab, D-Fremont)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #a8393e;\"><strong><em>Defeated!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><strong>\u00a0&#8211; Housing, Tenant Protections &amp; Rent Control<br \/><\/strong>This bill required residential rent control to apply to a residential real property built to replace a previous residential real property on the same parcel if the previous residential real property was substantially damaged or destroyed by a disaster, as defined, and was subject to residential rent control at the time the residential real property was substantially damaged or destroyed.\u00a0 This would have impacted the mobilehome parks and other rental property in Los Angeles County that were lost in the fire.\u00a0 If they rebuild, they would remain under rent control.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260SB525\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>SB 525<\/strong><\/a> (Jones, R-Santee)<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #066739;\"><strong><em>Supported &amp; Signed into law<\/em><\/strong><\/span> <strong>&#8211;<\/strong> <strong>California FAIR Plan<br \/><\/strong>Defines \u201cbasic property insurance\u201d offered through the FAIR Plan to include manufactured homes insurance that is comparable to basic property insurance sold for residential dwellings.
