Summary
Clovis mobile home park owners must give each home owner written notice of a rent increase, stating both the current rent and the proposed new rent, at least ninety days before the increase takes effect. The rule applies only to parks with twenty-five or more spaces under the City's Mobile Home Park Rent Review and Stabilization chapter.
At least sixty (60) days prior to any increase in rents, the park owner shall provide each home owner with written notice of the amount of current rent and the amount of the proposed increase. Effective January 1, 1994, the park owner shall provide the required notice at least ninety (90) days prior to an increase in rents.
Full Breakdown
06(a) originally required sixty days' written notice of a rent increase, listing the current and proposed rent, but the ordinance raised that to at least ninety days effective January 1, 1994, and that ninety-day standard still governs today. 03 limits the whole chapter to mobile home parks with twenty-five or more spaces, so smaller parks fall outside these notice and review rules entirely. 06(b) requires the owner's notice to explain in writing, on a City-prescribed form, why the increase qualifies for that exemption. 06(c) requires the owner's notice to cite the chapter provisions that authorize a larger increase and to include supporting documentation and factual data. 05(b) until three months have passed. 23.
Violations & Fines
A park owner who raises rent without giving the required ninety-day written notice, or without the exemption explanation and documentation Section 5.13.06(b)-(c) requires, is subject to the chapter's rent review process and the City's general Title 1 penalty scheme, up to a $1,000 misdemeanor fine or six months in jail, or a graduated infraction fine, for violating the chapter's requirements.
