Bill > AB754

This bill amends existing law to establish specific rent control provisions for floating home marinas in Marin County, effective from July 1, 2025, until January 1, 2038. The bill limits rent increases to the percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), with a minimum increase of 3% and a maximum of 7.5% per year. For in-place transfers of floating homes with existing long-term leases, marina management may establish a new initial rental rate, with increases capped at either 25% over the previous rate or 0.15% of the home's sale price, whichever is lower. The bill requires marina owners to provide notice of rent increases, demonstrate actual costs for utility and incidental charges, and prohibits charging fees for enforcing marina rules. Additionally, the bill specifies that any waiver of these rights is void, and it does not affect local governments' authority to impose additional rent regulations. The legislation is designed to address the unique circumstances of floating home marinas in Marin County, balancing tenant protections with marina owners' ability to finance capital improvements, and it includes provisions to handle rent increases retroactively for the period between July 1, 2025, and January 1, 2026.
