"Rent" means the consideration paid by the homeowner to the park owner for a tenancy in a mobile home park.

To the extent any factors are not considered in the initial separate billing, such factors shall not be considered when adjusting the utility service fee billing in the future.

2. The director shall approve such rent increases to the extent that the director determines the rent increase to be fair, just and reasonable.

A majority of the homeowners who reside in mobile home spaces in one mobile home park may petition the director for a homeowner rental adjustment by submitting the application required by subsection B of this section to the city clerk. For purposes of this section, there shall exist one homeowner for each mobile home space in the mobile home park for which rent is collected and "homeowner" shall mean a homeowner with a rental agreement with a term of twelve (12) months or less in duration. A filing fee in an amount established by resolution of the city council shall be charged to cover a portion of the costs of processing the requested adjustment. Applications shall be available at Lancaster City Hall.

Homeowners shall be entitled to apply for one homeowner rental adjustment during every annual period provided that the application required by Subsection B of this section is submitted to the city clerk prior to the expiration of the homeowner petition period as set forth in Section 11.08.020.

B. Contents of Application. The application shall specify: (1) the address of the mobile home park; (2) the number of mobile home spaces for which rent is collected; (3) the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all of the petitioners; (4) the reasons for the requested homeowner rental adjustment; and (5) the names of at least two spokespersons for the petitioners who shall thereafter be authorized by the petitioners to respond to any requests from the city for additional information.

All petition pages must clearly and uniformly state the reasons for the requested homeowner rental adjustment. Such language must match the language used on the application for mobile home space rental decrease, which is completed and filed with the director along with the homeowner's petition page(s).

C. Completed Application. Within fifteen (15) days of receiving an application for a homeowner rental adjustment, the director shall determine if the application is complete.

F. Homeowner Rental Adjustment Hearing. The director shall conduct a hearing to rule upon the petition in the same manner that the director conducts permissive rental adjustment hearings pursuant to Section 11.08.070.E. For purposes of this subsection, "permissive rental adjustment" in Section 11.08.070.F shall mean homeowner rental adjustment. The director shall approve prohibitions in the implementation of the annual rental increase to the extent that the director determines the prohibition to be fair, just and reasonable.

G. Implementation of Annual Rental Increase Prior to Hearing. In the event that the homeowner rental adjustment hearing is conducted after the expiration of the sixty (60) day notice period of the park owner's intent to implement the annual rental increase, a park owner may implement the annual rental increase. However, the director may order at the homeowner rental adjustment hearing that the park owner rebate to the homeowners that portion of the annual rental increase that the director determines that the park owner is prohibited from implementing pursuant to subsection F of this section.

(Ord. No. 927, § 1, 8-11-09; Ord. 660 § 1, 1994; Ord. 642 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 11-2.8)

A. For a new tenancy in which no homeowner from the prior tenancy remains in lawful possession of the mobile home space, a park owner may establish the initial rental rate not subject to this chapter.

B. For purposes of this section, "new tenancy" does not include a sale or transfer of a mobile home located upon that mobile home space that is one of the types listed in section 1701j-3(d) of title 28 of the United States Code.

(Ord. No. 1135, § 2, 8-12-2025)

Editor's note— Ord. No. 1135, § 2, adopted Aug. 12, 2025, amended § 11.08.090 in its entirety to read as herein set out. Former § 11.08.090, pertained to no vacancy increases, and derived from prior code § 11-2.10; Ord. 642 § 1 (part), adopted 1993; Ord. 660 § 2, adopted 1994; Ord. No. 927, § 1, adopted Aug. 11, 2009.

Park owners shall give homeowners written notice of any increase in their rent at least ninety (90) days prior to the effective date of the increase. A copy of all rent increase notices shall be forwarded to the director.

(Ord. No. 927, § 1, 8-11-09; Ord. 660 § 2, 1994: Ord. 642 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 11-2.10)

A homeowner shall be offered a rental agreement for (A) a term of twelve (12) months; or (B) a lesser period as the homeowner may request pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code Section 798.18; or (C) a longer period as mutually agreed upon by both the homeowner and the park owner. No such agreement shall contain any terms or conditions with respect to charges for rent, utilities or incidental reasonable service charges that would be different during the first twelve (12) months of the agreement from corresponding terms or conditions that would be offered to the homeowners on a month-to-month basis. All rental agreements shall comply in every respect with the requirements of the California Civil Code as they relate to rental of mobile home spaces.

(Ord. No. 927, § 1, 8-11-09; Ord. 642 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 11-2.11)

Complaints will not be processed until all relevant documents have been submitted to the city.

C. The city may request that park owners submit additional relevant documents. Park owners shall honor all reasonable city requests. Failure of a park owner to honor a reasonable request for submission of documents may be grounds for the city council's determination that a park owner shall not be permitted to implement the annual rental increase nor petition the director for a permissive rental adjustment pursuant to Section 11.08.070.

(Ord. No. 927, § 1, 8-11-09; Ord. 642 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 11-2.12)

Any administrative citation issued pursuant to this chapter shall not prejudice or adversely affect any other civil, administrative or criminal action that may be brought to correct or abate any violation caused by a park owner under this chapter. A civil or criminal action may be brought concurrently with any other process regarding the same violation.

(Ord. No. 1055, § 1, 2-26-2019; Ord. No. 927, § 1, 8-11-09; Ord. 642 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 11-2.13)
