Full Breakdown
080 governs how and when a mobile home park owner may raise space rent on the routine, non-petition track. Subsection (A) limits an owner to one permissive increase per 12-month period. Subsection (B) sets the increase at 100% of the CPI for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area or 5% of the prior 12 months' space rent, whichever is lower, unless a state law mandates a different figure, in which case state law controls. Subsection (C), the notice requirement, makes the increase effective only after the owner gives the tenant written notice in the manner state law prescribes, with at least 90 days' advance notice before the increase takes effect. 80. 090, is not a lawful permissive increase under this chapter.
Violations & Fines
An increase that skips the 90-day written notice is not a valid permissive increase, and collecting it anyway exposes the park owner to the same remedies as any unauthorized rent hike: a misdemeanor charge under § 5.80.130(A) for willfully charging rent above what the chapter allows, and civil liability under § 5.80.130(B) for three times the overcharge plus the tenant's attorney's fees, with the tenant bearing the burden of proof.
