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

080 governs how Santa Clarita manufactured home park owners must notify residents of an annual space rent adjustment. Under subsection (A), the park owner must give the City and each park resident a notice of the proposed adjustment no later than October 1st, effective either January 1st of the following year or on the resident's anniversary date after January 1st. Subsection (B) requires the notice and its supporting documentation to go to the City for preliminary review no later than September 1st. Every notice must list the affected space numbers and resident names without disclosing rent amounts, plus a City-supplied summary of the chapter (subsection C).

090(C) at the lesser of the CPI or 5 percent, must state the dollar and percentage increase and break out amounts attributable to government-required services or utility cost increases, with supporting documentation. 090(D), must include the calculations behind the request, and the backup documentation must stay available in the park office for at least 45 days and be filed with the City Clerk. Residents who do not sign an acknowledgment of receipt within ten days trigger a park-owner declaration under penalty of perjury (subsection H).

The Community Development Department reviews the September 1st submission and must flag deficiencies by September 15th (subsection I); an owner who disputes a deficiency finding must still deliver the notice on time but may flag the dispute in it, sending the matter to the Hearing Officer alongside any resident appeal.
