Full Breakdown
Moorpark Municipal Code § 5.52.050(A)(3) requires mobilehome park owners or managers to file a rent schedule with the mobilehome rent stabilization board and serve every affected tenant written notice at least 90 days before a proposed space rent increase takes effect. The notice must identify the space, state the proposed rent and effective date, and note that supporting documentation is available on request. This 90-day filing and notice rule covers standard CPI-linked increases; larger discretionary increases go through a separate board hearing under § 5.52.060.
Violations & Fines
Raising mobilehome space rent without filing the required 90-day notice, or exceeding the CPI-linked cap without board approval, makes the increase unlawful and voidable under Chapter 5.52.
