Bill > AB2238

This bill modifies the Mobilehome Residency Law, which sets rules for mobilehome park residents, by changing how homeowners can take legal action against park management for issues like poor maintenance or reduced services. Previously, a homeowner only needed to give management 30 days' written notice of their intent to sue, detailing the problem and what they wanted fixed, and one homeowner's notice was enough for everyone in the park. Now, homeowners must first send a separate written request for the specific repair or service, and if management doesn't fix it, they must then send a joint notice signed by all affected homeowners, detailing the problem, its causes, and including a copy of the initial request. This bill also removes the provision that one homeowner's notice is sufficient for all, meaning each homeowner must sign the formal notice. Additionally, management can now hire a licensed contractor to assess and recommend repairs within a specific timeframe, and then has another period to complete those repairs, after which the complaint is considered resolved unless further issues arise. Finally, the bill clarifies that management is considered notified of issues when a governmental entity in the park's jurisdiction reports them, rather than just state or local agencies.
