INTRODUCED BY   Senator Evans

   An act to amend Section 800.41 of the Civil Code, relating to real
property.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 491, as introduced, Evans. Real property: floating homes.
   Existing law prohibits a homeowner from being charged a fee when
obtaining a rental agreement on a floating home berth for a term of
12 months or a lesser period.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 800.41 of the Civil Code is amended to read:
   800.41.  A homeowner shall not be charged a fee for other than
rent, utilities, and incidental reasonable charges for services
actually rendered.
   A homeowner shall not be charged a fee for obtaining a rental
agreement on a floating home berth for (1) a term of  12
months,   one year,  or (2) a lesser period as
mutually agreed upon by both the homeowner and the management. A fee
may be charged for a rental agreement of more than one year if the
fee is mutually agreed upon by both the homeowner and management.
