§ 1.30.030. Maximum rent increase.

Except as provided herein, a mobilehome park owner shall not demand, accept or retain rent for a mobilehome space which exceeds the rent in effect on July 1, 2003. If a previously rented mobilehome space was not rented on July 1, 2003, the owner shall not, except as provided herein, demand, accept or retain rent which exceeds the rent in effect during the last month the space was rented prior to July 1, 2003.

The rent payable for use or occupancy of any space in a mobilehome park shall not be increased more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Said rent increase shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the Percent Change in the Consumer Price Index, or five percent, whichever may be less. The initial twelve month period shall begin on July 1, 2003.

The provisions of this section shall apply regardless of whether there is a change in the mobilehome tenant occupying the space, or a change in ownership of the mobilehome.
