Bill > AB456

This bill aims to provide greater protections and clarity for mobilehome owners seeking to sell or transfer their homes within mobilehome parks. The bill prohibits park management from requiring repairs or improvements to the interior of a mobilehome, requesting pre-approvals for interior repairs, or demanding interior inspections as a condition of sale or transfer. It extends the timeframe for management to provide a written summary of required repairs from 10 to 15 business days, and if management fails to provide this summary, they are deemed to have waived their rights to require repairs, except for health and safety-related improvements. The bill also requires management to approve a prospective purchaser's application within 15 days, or the application will be automatically considered approved. Additionally, the bill mandates that homeowners provide a copy of the Manufactured Home and Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statement to park management during a sale or transfer. The legislation further clarifies conditions under which an occupant of a mobilehome would not be considered an unlawful occupant, such as when management fails to timely notify the occupant about their tenancy application. These changes are part of the Mobilehome Residency Law and are designed to simplify and streamline the process of selling or transferring mobilehomes within parks.
