mobilehomes.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1234, Correa. Mobilehomes: privacy.
   Existing law provides that the ownership or management of a
mobilehome park shall have no right of entry to a mobilehome, except
in an emergency or when the resident has abandoned the mobilehome,
without the prior written consent of the resident.
   This bill would expand that prohibition to include an enclosed
accessory structure.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 798.26 of the Civil Code is amended to read:
   798.26.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the ownership
or management of a park shall have no right of entry to a mobilehome
or enclosed accessory structure without the prior written consent of
the resident. The consent may be revoked in writing by the resident
at any time. The ownership or management shall have a right of entry
upon the land upon which a mobilehome is situated for maintenance of
utilities, trees, and driveways, for maintenance of the premises in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the park when the
homeowner or resident fails to so maintain the premises, and
protection of the mobilehome park at any reasonable time, but not in
a manner or at a time that would interfere with the resident's quiet
enjoyment.
   (b) The ownership or management of a park may enter a mobilehome
or enclosed accessory structure without the prior written consent of
the resident in case of an emergency or when the resident has
abandoned the mobilehome or accessory structure.
