AB 456: Mobilehome parks: sales or transfers: prospective purchasers of mobilehomes.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law, the Mobilehome Residency Law, prescribes various terms and conditions of tenancies in mobilehome parks. Existing law, in the case of a sale or transfer of a mobilehome that will remain in the park, authorizes the management of a mobilehome park to only require repairs or improvements to, among other structures, a mobilehome, if specified conditions are met. Existing law requires the management to provide a homeowner with a written summary of repairs or improvements that management requires to, among other structures, the mobilehome no later than 10 business days following the receipt of a request for this information, as specified.

This bill would instead require the management to provide a homeowner with the written summary of repairs or improvements no later than 15 days following receipt of a request. The bill would deem the management to have voluntarily waived any and all rights to require repairs or improvements if the management fails or refuses to provide a homeowner the written summary, except as specified.

Existing law authorizes the management of a mobilehome park to require prior approval of a purchaser of a mobilehome that will remain in the park, as specified. Existing law requires management to notify the seller and the prospective purchaser, in writing, of either acceptance or rejection of the application within 15 days of receiving all of the information requested from the prospective purchaser.

This bill would deem management to have approved the application of the prospective purchaser if management fails or refuses to notify the seller and the prospective purchaser within 15 days of receiving the information.

Existing law requires the homeowner of a mobilehome or manufactured home in a mobilehome park to make certain real estate disclosures as part of a transfer or sale of a manufactured home or mobilehome in a mobilehome park, including the use of a Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statement.

This bill would require a homeowner to provide a copy of the Manufactured Home and Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statement to the management of a mobilehome park in the case of a sale or transfer of a mobilehome that would remain in the park.
