Summary
When a Pleasanton mobilehome park owner petitions to raise space rent above the annual cost-of-living formula, Municipal Code § 6.60.080 requires the city manager to mail residents written notice of the petition within five days, giving them 10 days to accept the increase before a hearing officer takes it up.
Notice to Residents. Within five days after receipt of a complete rent increase petition, the city manager shall give written notice of the petition, by United States mail, to the residents of the mobilehome spaces specified in the petition as follows: 1. As to mobilehome parks with 50 or fewer spaces, the city manager shall give written notice to all residents so affected. If a majority of the affected residents notify the city manager within 10 days that the requested rent increase is acceptable, all proceedings on the petition shall cease and the park owner may implement such increase as of the date such increase would otherwise have been effective without the intervention of this chapter. 2. As to mobilehome parks with more than 50 spaces, the city manager shall give written notice to the board of directors of the mobilehome park association.

Full Breakdown
60's rent-increase notice duty applies to the fair-return and base-year petition process, the mechanism a park owner uses to seek more than the standard 1%-5% cost-of-living adjustment. 090(B)). 080(C) requires the city manager to mail written notice within five days: parks with 50 or fewer spaces get notice sent to every affected resident, while parks with more than 50 spaces get notice sent to the board of directors of the mobilehome park association. Residents or the board then have 10 days to tell the city manager the requested increase is acceptable; if they do, the petition proceedings stop and the owner may implement the increase as originally proposed.
080(H)). 040(E) states that ordinary formula-based increases, the routine annual 1%-to-5% adjustments, are not effective until the park owner has given the notices required by state law, so Pleasanton's own five-day/10-day notice track governs only the above-formula petition process, not the routine annual increase.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 6.60 enforcement runs through the courts: a park owner, resident, or the city may sue in superior court to compel compliance, and violating the chapter, including the notice steps in §§ 6.60.080(C) and 6.60.090(C), is also a misdemeanor (§ 6.60.190). The hearing officer may stay or dismiss a rent-increase petition for noncompliance with the chapter's procedural fee and notice requirements (§ 6.60.130(A)).
