Summary
Corona bars mobilehome park owners from even sending a homeowner a rent-increase notice until the city's Housing Supervisor has certified or approved the increase. The Mobilehome Park Rent Stabilization ordinance also requires park owners to still comply with the state Mobilehome Residency Law's own notice rules.
Prior city approval or clearance required. No park owner shall implement or send a notice to a homeowner concerning any permissible rent increase before receiving certification or approval of such rent increase from the Housing Supervisor.
