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

Section 2.46.390 of the Mobile Home Rent Ordinance applies whenever a park owner's proposed increase exceeds the automatic Consumer Price Index ceiling set by Section 2.46.400. The written notice served on each homeowner or tenant must name the resident and the lot or space number, state that the landlord is required to file a rent increase petition with the city manager for the above-cap portion, give the date that petition was filed, and tell the resident the portion above the cap will not take effect until an administrative hearing officer approves it and what rent applies in the meantime. The notice must also disclose where the supporting cost documentation is on file: the city manager's office, the Rocklin Public Library and the mobile home park office, list the landlord's current name and address for notices, and state the proposed increase as both a dollar figure and a percentage of the current base rent.

The landlord has five working days after serving the notice to file a copy with the city manager along with an affidavit proving service on the homeowners and tenants under Section 2.46.390. That section makes the rule self-enforcing: no portion of a rent increase above the Section 2.46.400 cap becomes effective unless this notice was given and an administrative hearing officer signed off. The petition itself must be filed at least sixty but not more than one hundred twenty days before the proposed effective date under Section 2.46.440, and Section 2.46.420 separately requires the landlord to notify residents of the petition's filing within five days and post a copy in the park and at the public library.
