(Ord. 594 § 2 (part), 1988).

A. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any tenancy in a mobile home lot or dwelling unit following the voluntary termination of a tenancy on the part of a homeowner or tenant, or following a termination of a tenancy because of eviction for a material breach of a written agreement.

B.

The notice shall be in substantially the following form:

NOTICE: THIS RENTAL UNIT IS NOT SUBJECT TO RENT CONTROL

READ THIS NOTICE IN FULL. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON YOUR RIGHTS AS A HOMEOWNER OR TENANT.

Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 2.46 controls rents on some but not all mobile home lots and units. Rents are not controlled in mobile home parks or on mobile home lots and units for which a plumbing, electrical or sewer permit was first issued, or which became vacant, on or after August 31, 1988 (Rocklin Municipal Code Section 2.46.330).

The mobile home lot or unit specified below is not subject to rent control under Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 2.46. Because the mobile home lot or unit specified above is not subject to rent control, the landlord may raise the rent without any limitation or review by the city or other government or administrative agency. You are solely responsible for informing yourself of your rights and obligations in this matter and for protecting yourself against future rent increases.

I hereby acknowledge that I have read and have received a fully completed copy of this notice prior to entering into a rental or lease agreement involving the above described mobile home lot or unit.
