SB 147, as introduced, Dodd. Mobilehome parks: residency.

The Mobilehome Residency Law governs residency in mobilehome parks and includes provisions that are applicable to those who have an ownership interest in a subdivision, cooperative, or condominium for mobilehomes, or a resident-owned mobilehome park, as specified. Among other things, these provisions set forth the rights of residents and homeowners regarding the use of the property. Existing law authorizes a homeowner who lives alone to share his or her mobilehome with one guest, as described, without the imposition of a fee by management for that person.

This bill would authorize any homeowner to share his or her mobilehome with not more than two guest without the imposition of a fee by management.

Existing law authorizes a homeowner to share the mobilehome with a person over 18 years of age if that person provides live-in health care or live-in supportive care to the homeowner pursuant to a written treatment plan prepared by the homeowner’s physician. Existing law also authorizes a senior homeowner in an age limited mobilehome park to share the mobilehome with specified persons if the senior homeowner requires live-in health care, live-in supportive care, or supervision pursuant to a written treatment plan prepared by a physician and surgeon.

This bill would repeal the written treatment plan requirement.
