Watsonville Municipal Code Art. 7 Maximum Rent After Sale or Transfer of Mobile Home

The maximum rent which may be charged pursuant to this Chapter 11-3 shall not be modified upon the sale, transfer, or rental of the Mobile home to a third party, or by the replacement of the Mobile home by the Homeowner. Park Owners who raised space rent for such reasons must reduce those rents to the level which otherwise would have been charged. Park Owners affected by the rollbacks required under this Article 7 of this Chapter may apply for a determination of the fair rate of return pursuant to the provision of this Chapter. Where the prior tenant had been paying unusually low rent based on special concessions not extended to all other Homeowners, the Park Owner may adjust the rent upward so that the new Homeowners is paying rent which is no more than that paid by other Homeowners enjoying the same or similar accommodations and benefits.
