Event Information

Rent control is increasingly in the news, often reported as a solution that will solve the lack of affordable housing. The State of California has already implemented rent control regulations on rental units other than mobile home spaces. In 2021, statewide mobile home park rent control legislation was introduced and defeated. Although mobile home rent control has not been reintroduced in Sacramento this year, it is continuing to pop up in local jurisdictions throughout the State, even in jurisdictions that have long shunned rent control. Currently, about 17% of California’s 481 cities and 58 counties have enacted some form of rent control on mobile home parks, and the numbers are increasing. It is a miracle that MHET defeated the adoption of rent control in its region for 39 years – until last year, when the City of Santa Ana enacted a very restrictive ordinance.

We have invited mobile home park attorney Thomas Casparian to address the serious concerns and questions implicated by MHC rent control, including what he has learned about rent control over the years, the various forms and terms of rent control that need to be anticipated, what park owners can do to prepare to protect their investments, and what to do if your local jurisdiction adopts MHC rent control.
