Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Act - $10 Fee

New! Mobilehome/Manufactured Homeowners: Have you been charged an additional $10 by park management? This fee is designed to serve mobilehome park homeowners through the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) Protection Act. As of January 1, 2019, park management is required to pay $10 for each mobilehome lot within their park. Park management may pass this fee through to residents. The Act established a program to help resolve certain types of MRL disputes between park homeowners and park management.

Beginning July 1, 2020, HCD will start taking MRL-related complaints and coordinating assistance to help resolve the most severe alleged violations that the Department receives. If you have questions about this fee or the Act, please contact HCD at MRLComplaint@hcd.ca.gov or 1-800-952-8356. Please see Information Bulletin 2018-03 for a detailed description of the Act.
