Key Takeaways

  • Extends the deadline for mobilehome park management to provide repair requirements from 10 to 15 business days.
  • Automatically approves prospective mobilehome buyers if management fails to respond within 15 days.
  • Requires mobilehome sellers to provide transfer disclosure statements to park management upon request.
  • Protects residents from unlawful occupancy status if management fails to process their application properly.

Summary

Assemblymember Connolly's mobilehome park legislation modifies key aspects of California's sale and transfer processes for mobilehomes remaining in parks. The bill extends management's deadline to provide written repair summaries from 10 to 15 business days following a homeowner's request, while establishing that management waives rights to require non-safety repairs if failing to provide this summary within the timeframe.

The legislation creates automatic approval mechanisms for prospective purchaser applications when park management does not respond within prescribed periods. Under the new provisions, management must notify both seller and prospective purchaser of application acceptance or rejection within 15 days of receiving all required information. Applications receive automatic approval if management fails to meet this notification deadline. The bill also requires homeowners to provide management with copies of Manufactured Home and Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statements during sales or transfers.

Additional provisions modify the designation of unlawful occupants in mobilehome parks. Registered owners cannot be classified as unlawful occupants if management fails to timely notify them of application decisions or fails to offer a rental agreement after determining the occupant meets financial and compliance requirements. These changes maintain management's ability to review prospective purchasers while establishing clearer timelines and consequences for delayed responses.
