Impact analysis
Park owners may raise rents up to 2.56% in 2027; the floor is 2% and the cap is 4%.
Mobile home park residents, many on fixed incomes, get predictable rent limits.
Park owners say below-inflation caps and the 4% ceiling squeeze their ability to maintain aging 50- to 60-year-old parks.

Housing and Homelessness Committee — September 28, 2026
Riverside's mobile home rent control ordinance has two unresolved questions: whether family members inheriting or buying a mobile home in-place should face rent increases, and how park owners document pass-through fees for capital improvements. Owners say the ordinance is working and shouldn't change; residents describe stacking monthly charges that have ballooned. Staff will draft definitions and return in November.
