Mobile home rent stabilization amendments 7 and 9
Summary
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.

Impact analysis
Pass-through fees can add hundreds of dollars a month on top of space rent for mobile home residents; one resident's charges grew from $7.53 to $25.14 monthly.
Roughly 58% of the city's mobile home spaces are covered by the ordinance, protecting mostly senior residents from steep rent hikes.
Park owners say below-inflation caps and the 4% ceiling squeeze their ability to maintain aging 50- to 60-year-old parks.
