Pico Rivera, CA Rental Property Rules: Rent Increase Notice (2026)

Pico Rivera Municipal Code § 9.48.040(A), part of the mobile home rent stabilization chapter adopted by Ordinance 1190 in March 2025, requires a mobilehome park owner to give a tenant at least ninety days' written notice of any annual rent increase, citing the notice period set by California Civil Code § 798.30. That notice obligation applies only to mobile home spaces in the City of Pico Rivera, not to other rental housing. Section 9.48.070 layers on a second, separate notice duty: whenever a park owner is entering into a rental agreement, renewing one, or providing a notice of a rent increase or decrease or a service reduction, the owner must also give the tenant a copy of a form notice of mobilehome owner's rights, published by the community and economic development department in English and other commonly spoken languages, along with a copy of the state Mobilehome Residency Law.

If the rental agreement itself was negotiated in a language other than English, subsection B requires the rights notice in that language as well as English. Subsection C separately requires the park owner to post a copy of the rights notice on-site, in the management office or another accessible area of the park. A park owner who skips the ninety-day increase notice cannot lawfully collect the increase, and failing to provide the rights notice is enforceable as any other violation of Chapter 9.48, carrying administrative fines up to $1,000 under § 9.48.170.
