Summary
Rancho Cucamonga gives mobile home park tenants a formal way to challenge steep rent hikes. Under Municipal Code Chapter 8.10, tenants have 30 days after an owner gives notice of a rent increase exceeding the local Consumer Price Index to petition the city clerk for a mandatory meet-and-confer session with the park owner.
Within 30 days after an owner of a mobilehome park has given notice to the tenants thereof of a proposed rent increase which exceeds the consumer price index as outlined in section 8.10.050, the tenants may petition the city to call a mandatory meet-and-confer session between the mobilehome park owner and a committee representing the tenants for the purpose of discussing the proposed rent increase and the reasons therefor.

Violations & Fines
There is no fine schedule in this chapter; instead, non-compliance affects the increase itself. Under Section 8.10.110, if the tenants' committee skips a scheduled meet-and-confer or mediation session, the city clerk dismisses the petition outright. If the park owner or a representative fails to attend, the proposed rent increase cannot take effect until the owner attends a rescheduled session, effectively freezing the increase.
