Manufactured Home Parks

Manufactured Home Parks

Manufactured (Mobile) Home Parks in Santa Clarita are governed in part by Santa Clarita Municipal Code (SCMC) 6.02.

SCMC 6.02 — Space Rent Adjustments

The key issues addressed by SCMC 6.02 are listed below. Read the full ordinance here.

  • Requires parks to report on and register mobile home spaces.
  • Provides guidance on allowable annual space rent adjustments.
  • Creates a process by which a Hearing Officer may hear appeals of proposed space rent adjustments.

2027 Space Rent Adjustments

SCMC 6.02 requires that the Notice of any rent adjustment imposed in 2027 be provided to the manufactured home park resident by October 1, 2026. The Notice must include a summary of the requirements related to the contents of a rent adjustment notice and the rights of the resident to request an appeal hearing before the Hearing Officer.

In some circumstances, Manufactured Home Park residents may be able to appeal a proposed space rent adjustment. SCMC 6.02 requires that appeal petitions be submitted on the City’s Appeal Request Form, within 45 days of receiving the annual space rent adjustment notice.

Note: The Request for Appeal forms are fillable PDFs. The information required on Part I and Part II are fillable, so you may type in the information and print the completed form. The Resident Signature Form also has space to fill in the name of the Park bringing forward the Request for Appeal. Residents signing the Request for Appeal form will still need to write their space number and name on the form, and sign it.

Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Act

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. Click here for details on how to submit a complaint to HCD.

The Department of Housing and Community Development assists with Mobilehome Residency Law-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:
