Sec. 19-51. - Failure to provide a receipt of notice to district attorney—Infraction.

A receipt for the issuance of the rental option notice described above in Section 19-50 shall be returned to the district attorney's office, environmental/consumer law division, La Plaza West, 2300 County Center Drive, Suite B170, Santa Rosa, CA 95403. If the applicant refuses or declines to sign a rental option notice receipt (See Section 19-52 below), the parkowner shall execute the declaration provided on the authorized receipt form stating under penalty of perjury that the rental option notice was timely received on the date claimed, that the applicant refused or declined to execute the receipt, and that the parkowner states that service of the notice was accomplished. Failure to timely file a required receipt shall be an infraction punishable by a two hundred fifty dollar ($250.00) fine for a first offense and a five hundred dollar ($500.00) fine for every subsequent or contemporaneous additional offense. Failure to file the receipt shall also give rise to a presumption that the legally required notice was not provided, and that any more than a twelve month lease subsequently executed was fraudulently secured. All spaces rented to new tenants within the prior twelve months may be audited once a year by the district attorney's office, environmental/consumer law division.
