CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill
No. 2845
Introduced by Assembly Member Limón |
February 20, 2020 |
An act to amend Section 798.85 of the Civil Code, relating to civil law.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2845, as introduced, Limón.
Mobilehome Residency Law: actions.
Existing law provides that in any action arising out of the Mobilehome Residency Law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, and defines a prevailing party for these purposes.
This bill would instead provide that a resident who is the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs and, if management is the prevailing party, would require a court to award reasonable attorney’s fees and costs only if the resident’s action or defense is frivolous. The bill would delete the provision defining a prevailing party.
