	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2351, as introduced, Roger Hernández. Mobilehome parks: rent
control.
   The Mobilehome Residency Law governs the terms and conditions of
residency in mobilehome parks, and exempts a rental agreement that
satisfies specified criteria from any ordinance, rule, regulation, or
initiative measure adopted by a local governmental entity that
establishes a maximum amount a landlord may charge a tenant for rent.

   This bill would authorize the legislative body of a local
governmental entity to enact a rent control ordinance for a
mobilehome park within its jurisdiction when the vacancy rate in the
park meets or exceeds an unspecified percentage over a certain period
or where the rent charged to mobilehome park residents exceeds an
unspecified percent of the average rents for mobilehome park
residents within an unspecified radius of the park.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 798.17.5 is added to the Civil Code, to read:
   798.17.5.  Notwithstanding Section 798.17, with respect to

control ordinance for a mobilehome park where the vacancy rate
