21.6 Waiver. City’s failure to insist on strict compliance with any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege provided herein, or City’s waiver of any breach of this Agreement, does not relieve Developer of any of its obligations under this Agreement, whether of the same or similar type. The foregoing is true whether City’s actions are intentional or unintentional. Developer agrees to waive, as a defense, counterclaim or set off, any and all defects, irregularities or deficiencies in the authorization, execution or performance of the Public Improvements or this Agreement, as well as the laws, rules, regulations, ordinances or resolutions of City with regards to the authorization, execution or performance of the Public Improvements or this Agreement.

21.7 Assignment or Transfer of Agreement.
(A) Developer may not assign, hypothecate, or transfer, either directly or by operation of law, this Agreement or any interest herein without prior written consent of City, which City may grant or withhold at City’s sole and absolute discretion. Any attempt to do so is null and void, and any purported assignee, hypothecatee, or transferee acquires no right or interest by reason of such attempted assignment, hypothecation, or transfer. (B) Unless specifically stated to the contrary in City’s written consent, any assignment, hypothecation, or transfer does not release or discharge Developer from any duty or responsibility under this Agreement. (C) If City consents in writing to such an assignment, any assignee, hypothecatee or transferee must expressly assume Developer’s obligations 21 BBK: December 2022
hereunder by a written agreement in a form, and containing such security, as is reasonably acceptable to City.

(2) The agreement must survive the recordation of the Final Map and must be recorded against each of the proposed lots to inform successors and assigns of the required Public Improvements to be constructed and their time frame for construction. Following any permitted assignment of the Public Improvements as set forth in this section 21.7, City will release Developer from its obligations so assigned and will release to Developer any bond or other security posted to secure the Public Improvements so assigned; provided, however, that City will not release any security given to secure the performance of any of any Public Improvement that is not assigned.

21.8 Binding Effect. Each of the covenants and conditions in this Agreement binds and inures to the benefit of the Parties, and their successors, heirs, personal representatives, and assigns. This section does not authorize a Party to assign any right or obligation.

21.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. There is no intended third-party beneficiary of any right or obligation assumed by the Parties.

21.10 Invalidity; Severability. If any portion of this Agreement is declared invalid, illegal, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

(B) Any legal action or proceeding brought to interpret or enforce this Agreement, or which in any way arises out of the Parties’ activities undertaken under this Agreement, must be filed and prosecuted in the appropriate state court in the County of Orange, California. (C) Each Party waives the benefit of any provision of state or federal law providing for a change of venue to any other court or jurisdiction including, 22 BBK: December 2022
without limitation, a change of venue based on the fact that a governmental entity is a party to the action or proceeding, or that a federal right or question is involved or alleged to be involved in the action or proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing waiver, Developer expressly waives any right to have venue transferred pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 394.

(B) Any judgment, order, or award entered in such legal action or proceeding must contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of Costs, which shall include, without limitation, attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in the following:
(1) post judgment motions and appeals,
(2) contempt proceedings, garnishment, levy, and debtor and third-party examination,
(3) discovery, and
(4) bankruptcy litigation.
(C) This section 21.12 survives termination or expiration of this Agreement.

21.13 Acquisition and Dedication of Easements or Rights-of-Way. If any of the Public Improvements required by this Agreement are to be constructed on land not within the subdivision or an already-existing public right-of-way, no construction or installation shall be commenced before:

(B) The issuance of an order of possession by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to California’s Eminent Domain Law. Developer shall comply in all respects with any such order of possession.
(C) The issuance of an order of possession by a court of competent jurisdiction 23 BBK: December 2022
pursuant to California’s Eminent Domain Law. Developer shall comply in all respects with any such order of possession.

21.14 Prevailing Wages. Developer has been alerted to the requirements of California Labor Code section 1770 et seq., which require the payment of prevailing wage rates and the performance of other requirements if it is determined that this Agreement constitutes a public works contract. It shall be the sole responsibility of Developer to determine whether to pay prevailing wages for any or all work required by this Agreement. As a material part of this Agreement, Developer agrees to assume all risk of liability arising from any decision not to pay prevailing wages for work required by this Agreement.

CITY OF STANTON

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: March 24, 2026
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE RELATED TO

SOCIAL HOST LIABILITY FOR ILLEGAL FIREWORKS AND

ADMINISTRATIVE CITATIONS
REPORT IN BRIEF:

The City currently regulates the sale, storage, and discharge of fireworks within the City, consistent with State Fireworks Law (Health & Safety Code § 12500 et seq.) and guidance from the State Fire Marshall under Chapter 17.04 of the Stanton Municipal Code. In order to allow law enforcement and City code enforcement to better enforce Chapter 17.04, in 2025, the City adopted “social host” regulations, which make a property owner or a person in control of property on which fireworks are sold, stored, or discharged in violation of Chapter 17.04 strictly liable for the illegal sale, storage, or discharge. The amendment to the ordinance proposes a gradual fine increase based on the amount of dangerous fireworks at issue and clarifies that a fine is based on each discharge of a firework, among other modifications.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. Staff recommends that the City Council declare that the project is not subject to CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) and section 15378(b)(5); and

2. Introduce, by title only, and waive further reading of proposed Ordinance No. 1170:
“AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17.04 (SAFE AND SANE
FIREWORKS) OF TITLE 17 (FIRE) OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL

CODE, RELATED TO SOCIAL HOST LIABILITY AND ILLEGAL
FIREWORKS”; and

3. Set Ordinance No. 1170 for second reading and adoption at the April 14, 2026 regular meeting of the City Council.

Item: 12B
Click here to return to the agenda.

BACKGROUND:

In April 2025, the City Council adopted “social host” regulations which amended Chapter

17.04, “Safe and Sane Fireworks,” of the Stanton Municipal Code (“SMC”) to impose strict liability on property owners for fireworks sold, possessed, ignited, exploded, projected or otherwise used on their property (“Ordinance”). The Ordinance also imposed administrative fines related to the illegal use of fireworks.

Following adoption of the Ordinance, during the 2025 Fourth of July holiday season, the City issued 18 administrative citations to property owners for illegal use of fireworks under the Ordinance. The fine amounts ranged from $1,000 to $300,000 based on the number of fireworks possessed or discharged. 12 of the 18 citations went to hearings, and ultimately, the administrative hearing officer found in favor of the City on all 12.

ANALYSIS/JUSTIFICATION:

Illegal fireworks continue to be a serious and deadly issue within the City and in the area.

During the period between July 1 through July 7, 2025, the Orange County Fire Authority (“OCFA”) received 30 fireworks-related calls. One call for service related to a fire that appeared to be caused by a mortar-style firework. Moreover, according to OCFA’s “2025 Independence Day After Action Report,” there were 44 reported County-wide injuries associated with fireworks. Thirty-nine percent of County-wide fireworks-related injuries were due to dangerous fireworks, while nine percent of injuries were due to safe and sane fireworks. Most reported injuries within Orange County were burns to the head, face or ear. Tragically, Buena Park had one child fatality this year. An 8-year-old girl was critically injured after a large quantity of illegal fireworks detonated and she later died due to injuries. County-wide fireworks-related property loss in 2025 was reported at $963,500 with an increase in lost acreage of 1.75 acres (a 250% increase in lost acreage as compared to 2024).

Based on last year’s enforcement experience, Staff proposes revisions to SMC Chapter

17.04 to better carry out the purposes of the regulations.

Most notable among the changes is a gradual fine increase based on the amount of dangerous fireworks at issue. While even one dangerous firework can be deadly, multiple discharges of dangerous fireworks pose even greater risk to life and property. Therefore, Staff proposes the following fine schedule related to dangerous fireworks:

Number of dangerous
fireworks violations
Amount of Administrative
Penalty for each violation in 1-
year period (Fines shall be
capped at $10,000 in a 1-year
period)
Disposal
Charge (if
applicable)
0-10 $2,500 $250
11-20 $5,000 $500
21 and over $10,000 $1,000
Moreover, the proposed amendment clarifies existing language in the Code that even a single ignition that subsequently discharges multiple fireworks will result in multiple fines.

The City’s practice has been, and the Code revisions make abundantly clear, that a firework violation relates to a single firework that is sold, possessed, or otherwise discharged.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City’s fine schedule is meant to deter individuals and entities from violating the City’s fireworks ordinance, particularly the use and possession of deadly dangerous fireworks.

Each year, the City devotes significant resources to the enforcement of its fireworks ordinance, including additional law enforcement patrol during the Fourth of July holiday.

The fines collected do not cover the City’s cost to enforce its ordinance.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:

The proposed action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the proposed Ordinance is not anticipated to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, nor will the proposed changes have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, the proposed action is not a “project” under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), which excludes the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,” as the proposed Ordinance is not anticipated to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 17.04 (SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS) OF TITLE 17 (FIRE)

OF THE STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATED TO SOCIAL HOST LIABILITY AND

ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
WHEREAS, the City of Stanton, California (“City”) is a municipal corporation, duly organized under the constitution and laws of the State of California, authorized under its police powers to make and enforce within its limits all local, police, sanitary, and other ordinances and regulations not in conflict with general laws; and WHEREAS, the City may enact an ordinance regulating fireworks within its jurisdiction that is compatible with the State Fireworks Law (Health & Safety Code, § 12500 et seq.); and
WHEREAS, the City currently regulates fireworks pursuant to Chapter 17.04 of the Stanton Municipal Code. Chapter 17.04 has been periodically updated to reflect changes in state law and guidance from the State Fire Marshall; and WHEREAS, in 2025, the City Council adopted a “social host regulation” related to fireworks to increase enforcement mechanisms available to law enforcement and code enforcement. The updated regulations were revised, in part, because City code enforcement and law enforcement have faced challenges correctly identifying and citing violators of Chapter 17.04 when fireworks are discharged at private residences or block parties during crowded gatherings. The social host regulations made the property owner or person in charge of a property strictly liable for allowing any person to sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property owned by such person or under the control of such person in violation of this chapter, irrespective of such person's intent, knowledge, or negligence; and
WHEREAS, through its social host ordinance, the City captured footage between July 2 through July 5, 2025 of at least 18 properties in which members of the public possessed or discharged dangerous fireworks in violation of City ordinances; and WHEREAS, each year following the Fourth of July holiday, the Orange County Fire Authority (“OCFA”) gathers data to analyze the overall impact of fireworks throughout Orange County. In the City, OCFA reported 30 fireworks-related calls between July 1 through July 7; calls for service in the City included a fire that appeared to be caused by a mortar-style firework. Moreover, according to the “2025 Independence Day After Action Report” prepared by OCFA, there were 44 reported County-wide injuries associated with fireworks. Thirty-nine percent of County-wide fireworks-related injuries were due to dangerous fireworks, while nine percent of injuries were due to safe and sane fireworks.

Most reported injuries within Orange County were burns to the head, face or ear.

Tragically, Buena Park had one child fatality this year. An 8-year-old girl was critically injured after a large quantity of illegal fireworks detonated and she later died due to injuries. County-wide fireworks-related property loss in 2025 was reported at $963,500 Attachment: A

with an increase in lost acreage of 1.75 acres (a 250% increase in lost acreage as compared to 2024); and
WHEREAS, regionally, illegal fireworks caused a number of tragic deaths in 2025; see, “8 year-old Anaheim girl dies after fireworks explosion in Buena Park,” OC Register, Jul. 5, 2025, “Illegal fireworks lab connected to massive California explosion is raided, spurring school evacuations,” LA Times, Oct. 28, 2025,

The fines escalate so that the more dangerous fireworks are sold, possessed, ignited, or discharged, the higher the fine. Even one dangerous firework may injure, maim, or kill, and multiple dangerous fireworks risk an even higher likelihood of causing damage and death; and
WHEREAS, on March 24, 2026, the City Council considered the staff report, recommendations by staff and the City Attorney, and public comment regarding the amendment of SMC Chapter 17.04; and
WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Ordinance have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA, DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1: The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2: Section 17.04.050 “Definitions” is hereby added to Chapter 17.04 (Safe and Sane Fireworks) of Title 17 (Fire) of the Stanton Municipal Code to read in its entirety as follows:

C. ‘Discharge’ means any act that causes a release, ejection, emission, or otherwise projects outward or in the air of any firework.

D. ‘Fireworks’ shall have the same meaning as described in sections 12505 and 12511 of the California Health and Safety Code.

For example, a Firework identified as an “Aerial Barrage” contains one single package; within the single package, it contains six (6) dischargeable Fireworks that are ignited and discharged separate from each other.

In this case, there are six (6) Fireworks that are either used, possessed, ignited, discharged, advertised, or sold.

E. ‘Safe and Sane Fireworks’ shall have the same meaning as described in section 12529 of the Health and Safety Code, as may be amended.” SECTION 3: Section 17.04.010 of Chapter 17.04 (Safe and Sane Fireworks) of Title 17 (Fire) of the Stanton Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows “§ 17.04.010.

It is unlawful for any person, entity, firm, or corporation to possess, maintain, advertise, sell, display, dispose of, give away, store, keep or stock, or to discharge, explode, ignite, fire or set off any fireworks anywhere in the city except in strict accordance with all federal, state, and local laws, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of this Chapter.

SECTION 4: Section 17.04.072 of Chapter 17.04 (Safe and Sane Fireworks) of Title 17 (Fire) of the Stanton Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“§ 17.04.072 Liability of Property Owners or Persons in Control of Private Property.

A. It is unlawful for any property owner or person in control of property to cause, maintain, or allow (by his or her action or failure to act) another person or entity to sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, discharge, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property owned by such person or under the control of such person in violation of this chapter.

B. It is unlawful, and a property owner or person in control of property shall be strictly liable when any person or entity sells, possesses, ignites, explodes, projects, discharges, or otherwise fires or makes use of fireworks on the property owned by such person or under the control of such person in violation of this chapter, irrespective of whether the property owner or the person in control of the property had the intent or knowledge of such violation or otherwise acted negligently. Thus, said violation of this subsection (B) is hereby expressly declared a strict liability offense.

C. In addition to any other penalties provided by law, any person who commits a violation of this chapter shall be subject to an administrative penalty in the amount set forth in this chapter. A property owner or person in control of property shall not be in violation of this section if they seek immediate assistance from the Stanton Police Services, Orange County Sheriff’s Department, or Orange County Fire Authority to report a violation of this chapter.

Factors that the City may consider include, without limitation, an individual coming and going from a private property and igniting or discharging fireworks in the public right-of-way and returning to the same or different private property that is in close proximity.

E. When the property owner or person in control of property did not sell, possess, ignite, explode, discharge, project, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property, penalties under this chapter may be assessed against both the property owner or person in control of the property and the person or entity who did sell, possess, ignite, explode, project, discharge, or otherwise fire or make use of fireworks on the property, and all of the responsible parties shall be jointly and ORDINANCE NO. 1170

SECTION 6: CEQA. This Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) in that the proposed Ordinance is not anticipated to result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, nor will the proposed changes have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Additionally, the City Council finds that the proposed Ordinance is not a “project” under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), which excludes the “organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment,” as the proposed Ordinance is not anticipated to result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment.

SECTION 7: Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance for any reason is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.

REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
DATE: March 24, 2026
SUBJECT: FISCAL YEAR 2025/26 MID-YEAR BUDGET REVIEW AND PROPOSED

MID-YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS
REPORT IN BRIEF:

This report provides an overview of the City’s current economic environment and an analysis of the City’s fiscal position based on the FY 2025/26 mid-year financial report.

The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the performance of major revenue sources, assess expenditure trends, review fund balances, and identify potential fiscal risks that may affect the City’s financial outlook.

Overall, the City remains in a stable fiscal position with strong reserves and balanced operations; however, staff will continue to exercise prudent financial oversight and closely monitor economic conditions at the national level for potential impacts on the City’s financial outlook.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

1. City Council find that this item is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15378(b)(5) (Organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment); and

2. City Council approve the budget adjustments summarized in Attachment A.

BACKGROUND:

Current Economic Conditions
The United States economy continues to expand in early 2026, though at a slower pace following stronger growth in prior years. Recent economic data indicate that growth has moderated due to softer consumer spending, elevated interest rates, and increased economic uncertainty. While overall economic activity remains positive, the pace of expansion has slowed, reflecting a transition to a more moderate phase of the economic cycle.

Item: 12C
Click here to return to the agenda.
2 Labor market conditions remain relatively stable, though job growth has slowed and unemployment has increased modestly. Despite this softening, employment levels continue to support household income and consumer spending, which remain the primary drivers of economic activity. Inflation has declined from recent highs but remains above the Federal Reserve’s long-term target, particularly in service sectors.

Additionally, rising energy prices associated with geopolitical tensions present a potential risk for renewed inflationary pressure and may affect consumer discretionary spending.

These national trends have direct implications for the City’s financial position. The City’s primary revenue sources including property tax, sales and use tax, transactions and use tax, and utility users tax, are closely tied to overall economic activity, particularly consumer spending and local business performance. As a result, a slowing but stable national economy generally supports continued revenue generation, while also introducing potential volatility in economically sensitive revenue streams.

At the local level, revenue performance remains generally consistent with expectations, indicating continued economic activity within the City. Development-related revenues, including building permits and fees, suggest ongoing investment and construction activity. However, the City continues to operate in an environment where revenue growth is moderate rather than robust.

Expenditure trends remain aligned with the adopted budget, with public safety services continuing to represent the largest share of General Fund expenditures. While current financial conditions remain stable, the City’s reliance on economically sensitive revenues and the concentration of expenditures in key service areas require ongoing monitoring.

The City maintains a strong General Fund reserve position, which provides financial flexibility to address potential economic fluctuations. The projected modest decline in fund balance during the fiscal year reflects planned expenditures and capital investments rather than structural imbalance. These reserves serve as an important safeguard against uncertainty in the broader economic environment.

In summary, the national economy’s stable but slowing growth trajectory supports continued fiscal stability for the City in the near term. However, ongoing economic uncertainty, potential revenue volatility, and rising service costs highlight the importance of prudent financial management and continued monitoring of both economic conditions and budget performance.

Total General Fund Revenues $ 35,498,250 $ (277,000) $ 35,221,250 100.0% The economic outlook for the City of Stanton remains stable but cautious. Local revenue streams suggest the City’s economic activity remains steady; however, the City has yet to receive the final 2nd quarter sales tax data nor the first 2026 secured property tax allocation to have a definitive positive outlook.

Key indicators from the City’s revenue performance include:
• Sales and Use/Transactions and Use Tax: Budgeted at $12 million annually with approximately 32% of the budget realized as of December 2025 (reported approximately two months in arrears).
• Property Tax: Budgeted at $10.3 million annually with approximately 7% of the budget realized as of December 2025. (The County collects property taxes in April and December and remits to the City in May and January. The low realized percentage is due to the timing of this report which is through December.) • Fees and Permits: Budgeted at $3.2 million annually with approximately 54% of the budget realized as of December 2025.
• Utility Users Tax: Budgeted at $2.7 million annually with approximately 46% of the budget realized as of December 2025.
• Cannabis Tax: Budgeted at $2 million annually with approximately 35% of the budget realized as of December 2025.
4 Through December 2025, General Fund revenues reached approximately 31% of the annual budget, reflecting seasonal tax collection patterns and timing differences typical in municipal finances.

Several indicators suggest continued economic activity:
• Building permits and development fees have reached approximately 54% of the annual budget, suggesting ongoing development and construction activity within the City is on target.
• Investment earnings are trending higher so far, reflecting steady interest rate conditions for municipal investments; however, with the instability of the current conditions and global events, staff have not recommended any adjustments and will monitor closely.

Some categories show slower performance:
• Parking citation revenue has declined due to increased parking compliance and a reduction in term for the parking enforcement contractor. Staff are seeking to reduce the budget by $280,000 to align the budget with projected collections with a corresponding reduction of $136,637 in expenditures related to a reduction in term.

General Fund Expenditures (Attachment C)
The FY 2025/26 General Fund expenditure budget totals approximately $36.3 million, before transfers, with total expenditures and transfers projected at about $37.1 million which exceeds projected operating revenues. The planned use of the General Fund Assigned fund balance was included to balance the budget.

A summary of General Fund expenditure is provided in the following table:

Total General Fund Expenditures $ 37,081,086 $ (18,637) $ 37,062,449 100.0% 5 As of December 2025, the City had expended approximately 45.9% of its annual expenditure budget, which aligns with normal mid-year spending patterns.

Public Safety
Public safety remains the largest component of the City’s operating budget. Major expenditures include:
• Law Enforcement Services: approximately $16.3 million • Fire Protection Services: approximately $6.0 million
Together, contract public safety accounts for roughly two-thirds of the General Fund expenditures, reflecting Council and community priorities.

Other Major Service Areas
Additional operating expenditures include:
• Public Works: Budgeted at $3.5 million annually with approximately 43% of the budget realized as of December 2025. Staff are proposing a total of $118,000 of new appropriations to fund the upgrade to the City Yard fire alarm system, the cost of the summer school crossing guard that will be recovered by Magnolia School District, and to increase inspection services due to Public Works staffing changes covered by salary savings.
• Community Services: Budgeted at $1.7 million annually with approximately 43% of the budget realized as of December 2025.
• Community Development: Budgeted at $1.6 million annually with approximately 40% of the budget realized as of December 2025.
• Administration and Finance: Budgeted at $4.8 million annually with approximately 43% of the budget realized as of December 2025.

These departments support core municipal services such as infrastructure maintenance, recreation programs, planning, and administrative operations.

The City’s General Fund reserves and available fund balance (“discretionary fund balance”) is estimated to be $38.9 million, 14.2% higher than originally projected for Fiscal Year 2025/26.

Proposed Adjustments to Revenues and Expenditures in Other Funds Revenue and expenditure adjustments in other funds include the following:
• Lighting Maintenance 1919 Act Fund (#224) – An adjustment is proposed to increase expenditures by $30,000, to cover the cost of unscheduled street light replacements. Cost recovery will be pursued as appropriate. • Sewer Maintenance Fund (#501) – An adjustment is proposed to increase expenditures by $43,000. This adjustment is needed to cover the cost of a FY 2024/25 vendor payment that was received after the City’s fiscal year recognition period. Since this expense was budgeted in the prior year but not expended, this adjustment is classified as a carry-over.
• Workers Compensation Insurance Fund (#602) – An adjustment is proposed to increase expenditures by $25,000 to provide additional funding for workers compensation claims. As of February, the City has paid over $50,000 for workers compensation claims. This expenditure increase will be absorbed using fund balance.
• Liability/Risk Management Fund (#603) – An adjustment is proposed to increase expenditures by $20,000 to provide additional funding for general liability claims.

As of February, the City has paid under $150,000 for general liability claims. This expenditure increase will be absorbed using fund balance. • Fleet Maintenance Fund (#605) – An adjustment is proposed to increase expenditures by $37,000 to cover the unexpected cost of repair to the OCSD motorcycle and other fleet repairs. This expenditure increase will be absorbed using fund balance.

3 New California Laws for 2025
In 2025, there were several bills and changes that impacted the MRL and other laws related to mobilehome park residency.
• Electronic Notices. Allows mobilehome park management, if a mobilehome owner or resident agrees in writing, to send the required 72-hour advance notice for non-emergency utility shutoffs (like water, gas, or electricity) by email or other electronic communication instead of on paper. AB 661 (Patterson, Chapter 23, Statutes of 2024).
• Evictions. A mobilehome park cannot evict a resident for not paying rent or because the park is changing how the property will be used unless the park has a valid permit to operate from the proper enforcement agency. AB 2373 (Rendon, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2024).
• Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program. Mobilehome parks must include information about the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP) — including how to contact the program — in the yearly notice they give to mobilehome owners about their rights and responsibilities, and also include it in the rental agreement. AB 2399 (Rendon, Chapter 397, Statutes of 2024)
• Solar Energy Systems. A mobilehome park generally cannot stop or limit residents from installing and using solar energy systems on their mobilehomes or their lots. However, there are some exceptions, such as in parks that use a master meter system, and the park may still apply certain reasonable restrictions as allowed by law. SB 1190 (Laird, Chapter 162, Statutes of 2024). • Homeowners Work Vehicles. Mobilehome park management is not allowed to remove certain work vehicles that are owned by homeowners, as long as they meet the conditions set by law. AB 1408 (Roth, Chapter 79, Statutes of 2024).

Article 2 – Rental Agreement
Article 2 contains the following provisions related to items that shall be included in the rental agreement:
• The rental agreement must state the length of the tenancy and the amount of rent.

It must also list the services the park will provide during the tenancy and any fees for those services. In addition, it must explain that if a homeowner fails to maintain their space according to park rules, management may charge a reasonable fee to fix the issue—after giving written notice describing the problem, the estimated cost, and allowing 14 days for the homeowner to correct it.
4 • Management must provide a copy of the notice entitled “IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL MANUFACTURED HOME/MOBILEHOME OWNERS: CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU BE MADE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:” with the original rental agreement and again prior to February 1 of each year. Highlights of the notice include:
o Management must give a homeowner written notice of any increase in the rent at least 90 days before the date of the increase. (Civil Code Section 798.30)
o No rental or sales agreement may contain a provision by which a purchaser or a homeowner waives any of their rights under the MRL. (Civil Code Sections 798.19, 798.77)
o Management may not terminate or refuse to renew a homeowner’s tenancy except for one or more of the authorized reasons set forth in the MRL. (Civil Code Sections 798.55, 798.56) Homeowners must pay rent, utility charges, and reasonable incidental service charges in a timely manner. Failure to comply could be grounds for eviction from the park. (Civil Code Section 798.56)
o Homeowners, residents, and their guests must comply with the rental agreement or lease, including the reasonable rules and regulations of the park and all applicable local ordinances and state laws and regulations relating to mobilehomes. Failure to comply could be grounds for eviction from the park. (Civil Code Section 798.56)
o In California, mobilehome owners must pay annual property tax to the county tax collector or an annual fee in lieu of taxes to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). If you are unsure which to pay, contact HCD. Failure to pay taxes or in lieu fees can have serious consequences, including losing your home at a tax sale. o The Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP), found in Section 18800 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code, protects and safeguards mobilehome homeowners and residents by affording them an additional avenue to enforce violations of the MRL. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers the program by providing assistance in taking complaints and helping to resolve and coordinate the resolution of those complaints from homeowners and residents relating to the MRL. The HCD contracts with nonprofit legal service providers and refers complaints of alleged MRL violations to these legal service providers. The HCD may not arbitrate, mediate, negotiate, or provide legal advice in connection with mobilehome park rent disputes, lease or rental agreements, or disputes arising from lease or rental agreements, but may provide information on these issues to the complaining party, management, or other responsible party. The MRLPP is funded by an annual registration fee of $10.00 for each permitted mobilehome lot, collected from management, which management may pass on and collect from the homeowner at the time of rent payment. The annual MRLPP registration fee must appear as a separate line item on the rent bill and be accompanied by a clear written description of the purposes of the 5 charge, along with contact information for the HCD. For questions regarding the fee or the MRLPP, contact: the HCD at [email protected] or by calling (800) 952-8356.

Article 2 includes the following provisions related to those mobilehomes that are not the principal residence of the homeowner.
• If a mobilehome space is not the homeowner’s main residence and the homeowner is not renting it out to someone else, that space is not subject to local rent control laws that limit how much rent can be charged.

Article 3.5 – Fees and Charges
The following is a high-level summary of the provisions of Article 3.5. • Notice of rent increase. Park management must give a homeowner written notice at least 90 days before raising their rent.
• Rent restrictions for mobilehome parks located between two incorporated cities. o This section limits how much rent can be increased in certain mobilehome parks that are located within the jurisdictions of two or more incorporated cities. In most cases, rent cannot be raised by more than 3% plus the change in the cost of living (CPI), or 5% total—whichever is lower—within a 12-month period, and increases cannot occur more than twice in a year for the same homeowner.
o For new tenancies, park management may set the initial rent without these limits, unless a local rent control law applies. After the initial rent is set, future increases must follow the state limits.
o The law requires proper notice of rent increases, does not allow tenants to waive their rights under it, and does not apply to certain types of housing (such as deed-restricted affordable housing, student housing, residentowned parks, or parks already subject to stricter local rent control). o The law applies to rent increases starting February 18, 2021, became fully operative January 1, 2022, and is scheduled to remain in effect until January 1, 2030, unless extended.
• Authorized fees charged. A homeowner can only be charged for rent, utilities, and reasonable fees for services that are actually provided. Management cannot charge a fee just for giving a lease that is 12 months long or shorter (if the homeowner requests a shorter term). However, a fee may be charged for a lease longer than one year, but only if both the homeowner and management agree to it.
• Fees charged for unlisted services without notice. Management cannot charge a homeowner for services that are not listed in the rental agreement unless the homeowner is given written notice at least 60 days before the charge begins. Any approved fees or charges must be listed separately on the homeowner’s monthly (or other periodic) bill. If a fee is temporary or spread out over a set period of time, the bill must clearly state when the charge will end, both in the first notice and on 6 each bill while the charge is being applied
• Pets. Management cannot charge a pet fee unless it actually provides special pet facilities or services. If it does provide them, the fee must be reasonable and related to the cost of maintaining those facilities and the number of pets in the park. • Guests and live-in care providers. A homeowner cannot be charged a fee for: a guest who stays no more than 20 consecutive days or 30 total days per year; one designated companion living with the homeowner; a live-in caregiver providing necessary care; and/or certain adult family members of a senior homeowner (55+) who need live-in care, even in age-restricted parks.
• Members of immediate family. A homeowner cannot be charged extra fees based on how many members of their immediate family live with them. “Immediate family” includes the homeowner, their spouse, parents, children, and grandchildren under

18. • Entry, hookup, landscaping, and maintenance charges. A homeowner cannot be charged fees just to move in, install their mobilehome, connect utilities, or do landscaping—unless the fee is an actual government-required cost for that specific space. The park can include reasonable landscaping and maintenance rules, but management cannot require homeowners to buy or hire landscaping, remodeling, or maintenance services from a specific person or company. • Fines and forfeitures not chargeable. Park management cannot charge homeowners fees or raise rent to cover the cost of fines, penalties, damages, or attorney’s fees that management had to pay for breaking the law. Any lease term that allows this is invalid. (This does not apply if the violation was the homeowner’s responsibility under the Health and Safety Code.)
Article 4.5 – Rent Control
The following is a high-level summary of the provisions of Article 4.5. • New construction exempt. Newly built mobilehome spaces and new mobilehome parks are exempt from local rent control laws for 15 years. For new spaces, the 15 years starts when the space is first offered for rent. For new parks, the 15 years starts when 50% of the spaces are first offered for rent after receiving the required permits.
• Government fees and assessments that are exempt. In cities with rent control, park management may separately charge homeowners for certain governmentimposed fees or increases. If those government fees are later reduced or eliminated, the homeowner’s charge must also be reduced or removed. These charges must be listed separately on the bill, including when they will end if they are temporary. However, this does not apply to certain fees, such as property taxes, Mobilehome Parks Act fees (unless specifically allowed), court-imposed costs, or fees meant to cover rent control administration. 7 Enforcement
The MRL is enforced through the court system, just like other landlord-tenant laws. This means that if there is a dispute between a mobilehome park owner and a resident, the individuals involved must take the matter to court to resolve it. HCD does not have the authority to enforce these Civil Code provisions, so it does not investigate or take action in these disputes.

Questions About the MRL or Other State Mobilehome Laws
Beginning July 1, 2021, any mobilehome or manufactured homeowner living in a mobilehome park under a rental agreement may submit a complaint for an alleged violation of the MRL to the Mobilehome Assistance Center (MAC) at HCD. Any mobilehome or manufactured homeowner residing in a permitted mobilehome park is eligible to submit a complaint. HCD staff provide information, coordination, referrals, and other assistance to help resolve complaints generally related to:
• The operation of mobilehome parks related to health and safety matters. • The purchase, sale, financing, titling, and registration of manufactured homes and mobilehomes.
• The installation, inspection, and maintenance or alteration of manufactured homes, mobilehome accessory structures, and park grounds.

Orange County Survey
Staff conducted a survey of all Orange County cities and identified the following cities as having some form of tenant or rent protection:
• Buena Park
o Protection against invalid termination of residential tenancy notices (does not apply to mobilehomes).
o Enforcement
 No enforcement action is taken by the City. Any owner of residential real property who intentionally violates the provisions of the Municipal Code when issuing an invalid termination notice shall be liable to the tenant for a civil penalty in an amount not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars, and/or reasonable attorney's fees and costs, each as determined by the court. A tenant may enforce the provisions of the Municipal Code by means of a civil action. • San Juan Capistrano
o Mobile Home Rent Control
o Methodology
 Take the operating expenses of the park for the 12 month period immediately preceding the date upon which notification of any rent increase is to be made; multiply that sum by the percentage of increase in the CPI-U appearing in the latest published Consumer Price Index to arrive at the maximum allowable annual increase in 8 rent for the entire park; and divide the number of units in the park to compute the maximum allowable annual rent increase (in dollars) for each space; or
 Secure the percentage of annual increase in the CPI-U for the calendar year immediately preceding the one in which the rental adjustment is being made; multiply that figure by the rent to be adjusted to arrive at the maximum allowable rent increase percentage per year; and apply that product to each space rent.  A mobile home park owner may petition the City to request the ability to implement an increase that is greater than the maximum allowable increase options listed above based upon factors including, but not limited to, costs attributable to utility rates, property taxes, insurance, advertising, governmental assessments, cost-of-living increases attributable to incidental services, normal repairs and maintenance, capital improvements, the upgrading and addition of amenities for services, and a fair rate of return on the property.
o Enforcement
 Enforcement by the City is complaint-based. Residents who reside in and represent more than 50% of the inhabited spaces within a park, excluding management, may file a written petition concerning a proposed or actual rent increase. The complaint is heard by a Hearing Officer at a hearing. The Hearing Officer issues a recommendation to the Planning Commission, who reviews the Hearing Officer’s findings and conclusions at a Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission issues a recommendation to the City Council, which may affirm, modify, or reverse the rent increase in question, but in no case may require a reduction lower than the maximum allowable increase.
o Fee Reimbursement
 The cost to invoke the process is $1,000.
• Santa Ana
o Rent stabilization (applies to certain residential rental units and mobilehome spaces).
o Methodology
 The rent stabilization cap only applies to buildings built on or before February 1, 1995, pursuant to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act. The rent stabilization cap for mobilehome spaces only applies to mobilehome parks established before 1990 regardless of ownership. The rent stabilization cap does not apply to ALL residential units built before February 1, 1995, or mobilehome spaces established before 1990. A list of exemptions can be found in the Ordinance.
 Maximum rent increase in a 12-month period cannot be more than 3% of the current rent amount or 80% of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) change, whichever is less.
 The City will publish the maximum allowable rent increase no later 9 than June 30 of each year, which shall be effective on September 1 of that year. The maximum allowable rent increase for the period September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2026, is 2.42%.
 There may be circumstances where owners may be able to raise tenants’ rent over 3 percent, subject to approval of a petition for relief from the cap.
 The City maintain a Rental Registry – an online portal where landlords must register their rental units, update rental unit information (including rent increases), update tenancy information, submit notices, and pay the City’s Rental Registry fee, if applicable. o Enforcement
 Petitions
• A stakeholder must complete a petition and include all supporting documentation. Once the petition is accepted, an impartial Hearing Officer will conduct a hearing to act upon the petition. The hearing will be held within 60 days of
acceptance.
 Tenants
• A tenant may submit a Tenant Petition on any one (1) or more of the following grounds:
o To request review of a rent increase in excess of the maximum allowed rent increase;
o To request a reduction in rent based on decreased
housing services;
o To request a reduction in rent based on failure of the landlord to maintain a habitable premises, including
health, safety, fire, or building code violations;
o To contest a capital improvement cost as an
unauthorized or excessive pass through; or,
o For any other violation of the Ordinance by the
landlord.
 Owner – Fair Return
• An owner of residential real property or a mobilehome park owner may submit a Fair Return Petition requesting a rent increase in excess of the published allowable rent increase in order to obtain a fair and reasonable return on their property, as set forth by the criteria in the Ordinance. The applicant shall bear the burden of establishing that, without such an increase, they will not realize a fair and reasonable return on the property.
 Owner – Capital Improvement
• An owner of residential real property or a mobilehome park owner may submit a Capital Improvement Petition requesting a pass-through cost to the tenants to cover certain expenses incurred by the landlord to complete capital improvements for the rental unit. The Ordinance allows for the consideration of 10 expenses incurred by the landlord to complete capital improvements that were paid for and completed after
November 19, 2021.

2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILEHOME RESIDENCY LAW HANDBOOK

INTRODUCTION
Most of the provisions of the California Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) were enacted piecemeal over a number of years and eventually codified under Chapter 2.5 of the Civil Code in 1978. Since 1978, a number of sections have been amended and others added to the Code. The MRL is divided into nine Articles, by subject, as indicated in the accompanying Table of Contents. The MRL, like provisions of conventional landlord-tenant law, are enforced by the courts; that is, the disputing parties must enforce the MRL against one another in a court of law. The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not have authority to enforce these Civil Code provisions. For example, a park owner must utilize an unlawful detainer procedure in a court to evict a homeowner for non-payment of rent or failure to abide by reasonable park rules. By the same token, a manufactured homeowner must bring legal action, in court, to enforce a notice or other MRL requirement, or obtain an injunction, if the management will not otherwise abide by the MRL.

Other selected laws are not part of the MRL, but are related to park residency, include the Recreational Vehicle (RV) Park Occupancy Law, first enacted in 1979, which governs tenancies in RV parks. The RV Occupancy Law was substantially revised in 1992, dividing it into seven Articles. Additionally, laws related to mobilehome resale disclosure, park emergency preparedness plans, mobilehome park polling places, registration and titles, and traffic enforcement in mobilehome parks are also located outside of the MRL.

How to use this handbook. This document is intended to provide an overview of recent legislative updates to California laws governing mobilehome and RV park residency, and is made available through the assistance of the Senate Housing Committee staff. The Senate Housing Committee has jurisdiction over HCD, which regulates the codes and standards, titling and registration, and health and safety components related to manufactured and mobilehomes. This handbook is not intended to provide legal advice.

Questions about the MRL or other state mobilehome laws? Beginning July 1, 2021, any mobilehome or manufactured homeowner living in a mobilehome park under a rental agreement may submit a complaint for an alleged violation of the MRL to the Mobilehome Assistance Center (MAC) at HCD. Any mobilehome or manufactured homeowner residing in a permitted mobilehome park is eligible to submit a complaint.

HCD staff provide information, coordination, referrals, and other assistance to help resolve complaints generally related to:
 The operation of mobilehome parks related to health and safety matters.  The purchase, sale, financing, titling, and registration of manufactured homes and mobilehomes.  The installation, inspection, and maintenance or alteration of manufactured homes, mobilehome accessory structures, and park grounds.

Additionally, Appendix A of this handbook contains a list of local community resources by county, including local housing programs social services, and legal services. Appendix B contains a draft form requesting assistance or filing a complaint that may be submitted to the MAC and Appendix C contains a draft Request for Assistance or Complaint form for the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program MRLPP).

To reach the MAC or obtain copies of the forms in Appendix B or C, please call (800) 952-8356, email [email protected] or visit www.hcd.ca.gov.
2025 Update. Below is a summary of the bills and changes that took place in 2024 to the MRL and other laws related to park residency.
 AB 661 (Patterson, Chapter 23, Statutes of 2024) — Authorizes mobilehome park management, with voluntary, written consent of a mobilehome owner or resident, to provide affected mobilehome owners or residents a 72-hour notice required for any interruption of utilities not due to an emergency, as specified, by electronic communication.  AB 1472 (Alvarez, Chapter 351, Statutes of 2024) — Prohibits a person from requiring an occupant, tenant, or resident in an RV park located within the City of Imperial Beach to reregister if the purpose of the reregistration requirement is to prevent the occupant, tenant, or resident from gaining or maintaining status as a resident, and provides for a rebuttable presumption that the reason for requiring reregistration is to prevent them from gaining or maintaining status as a resident. A person who violates these provisions is liable for a civil penalty of $500, and requires a court to award reasonable attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party.  AB 2373 (Rendon, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2024) — Specifies that a mobilehome park may not terminate the tenancy of a park resident, or issue a notice of termination, for non-payment of rent or a change of use of the park, unless the mobilehome park has a valid permit to operate issued by the enforcement agency, as specified.
 AB 2399 (Rendon, Chapter 397, Statutes of 2024) — Requires a notice regarding the Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP), and how to contact the program staff, to be included in a specified notice of a mobilehome owner and mobilehome park’s rights and responsibilities that the mobilehome park must provide to all mobilehome owners on an annual basis and as part of the rental agreement.
 SB 1190 (Laird, Chapter 162, Statutes of 2024) — Prohibits a mobilehome park from prohibiting or restricting the installation and use of solar energy systems on mobilehomes or their lots, with an exception for master-metered parks and other reasonable restrictions, as specified.  AB 1408 (Roth, Chapter 79, Statutes of 2024) — Prohibits mobilehome park management from removing certain work vehicles owned by homeowners, as specified.  SB 1525 (Senate Judiciary Committee, Chapter, Statutes of 2024) — Makes a number of nonsubstantive changes to various code sections, recommended by the Office of Legislative Counsel. 2025 California Mobilehome Residency Law

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL MANUFACTURED HOME/MOBILEHOME OWNERS: CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES THAT YOU BE MADE AWARE OF THE FOLLOWING:

The Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL), found in Section 798 et seq. of the Civil Code, establishes the rights and responsibilities of homeowners and park management. The MRL is deemed a part of the terms of any park rental agreement or lease. This notice is intended to provide you with a general awareness of selected parts of the MRL and other important laws. It does not serve as a legal explanation or interpretation. For authoritative information, you must read and understand the laws. These laws change from time to time. In any year in which the law has changed, you may obtain one copy of the full text of the law from 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
4 management at no charge. This notice is required by Civil Code Section 798.15(i) and the information provided may not be current.

Homeowners and park management have certain rights and responsibilities under the MRL. These include, but are not limited to:

1. Management must give a homeowner written notice of any increase in his or her the rent at least 90 days before the date of the increase. (Civil Code Section 798.30)

2. No rental or sales agreement may contain a provision by which a purchaser or a homeowner waives any of his or her their rights under the MRL. (Civil Code Sections 798.19, 798.77)

3. Management may not terminate or refuse to renew a homeowner’s tenancy except for one or more of the authorized reasons set forth in the MRL. (Civil Code Sections 798.55, 798.56) Homeowners must pay rent, utility charges, and reasonable incidental service charges in a timely manner. Failure to comply could be grounds for eviction from the park. (Civil Code Section 798.56)

4. Homeowners, residents, and their guests must comply with the rental agreement or lease, including the reasonable rules and regulations of the park and all applicable local ordinances and state laws and regulations relating to mobilehomes.

Failure to comply could be grounds for eviction from the park. (Civil Code Section 798.56)

5. Homeowners have a right to peacefully assemble and freely communicate with respect to mobilehome living and for social or educational purposes. Homeowners have a right to meet in the park, at reasonable hours and in a reasonable manner, for any lawful purpose. Homeowners may not be charged a cleaning deposit in order to use the park clubhouse for meetings of resident organizations or for other lawful purposes, such as to hear from political candidates, so long as a homeowner of the park is hosting the meeting and all park residents are allowed to attend. Homeowners may not be required to obtain liability insurance in order to use common facilities unless alcohol is served. (Civil Code Sections 798.50, 798.51)

6. If a home complies with certain standards, the homeowner is entitled to sell it in place in the park. If you sell your home, you are required to provide a manufactured home and mobilehome transfer disclosure statement to the buyer prior to sale. (Civil Code Section 1102.6d) When a home is sold, the owner is required to transfer the title to the buyer. The sale of the home is not complete until you receive the title from the seller. It is the responsibility of the buyer to also file paperwork with the Department of Housing and Community Development to register the home in his or her the buyer’s name. (Civil Code Sections 798.70–798.74)

7. Management has the right to enter the space upon which a mobilehome is situated for maintenance of utilities, trees, and driveways; for inspection and maintenance of the space in accordance with the rules and regulations of the park when the homeowner or resident fails to maintain the space; and for protection and maintenance of the mobilehome park at any reasonable time, but not in a manner or at a time that would interfere with the resident’s quiet enjoyment of his or her the resident’s home. (Civil Code Section 798.26)

8. A homeowner may not make any improvements or alterations to his or her the homeowner’s space or home without following the rules and regulations of the park and all applicable local ordinances and state laws and regulations, which may include obtaining a permit to construct, and, if required by park rules or the rental agreement, without prior written approval of management. Failure to comply could be grounds for eviction from the park. (Civil Code Section 798.56)

9. In California, mobilehome owners must pay annual property tax to the county tax collector or an annual fee in lieu of taxes to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). If you are unsure which to pay, contact HCD. Failure to pay taxes or in lieu fees can have serious consequences, including losing your home at a tax sale.

10. For more information on registration, titling, and taxes, contact: the Department of Housing and Community Development at www.hcd.ca.gov (800) 952-8356; your County Tax Collector; or call your local county government. 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
5 11.

The Mobilehome Residency Law Protection Program (MRLPP), found in Section 18800 et seq. of the Health and Safety Code, protects and safeguards mobilehome homeowners and residents by affording them an additional avenue to enforce violations of the MRL. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) administers the program by providing assistance in taking complaints and helping to resolve and coordinate the resolution of those complaints from homeowners and residents relating to the MRL. The HCD contracts with nonprofit legal service providers and refers complaints of alleged MRL violations to these legal service providers. The HCD may not arbitrate, mediate, negotiate, or provide legal advice in connection with mobilehome park rent disputes, lease or rental agreements, or disputes arising from lease or rental agreements, but may provide information on these issues to the complaining party, management, or other responsible party. The MRLPP is funded by an annual registration fee of $10.00 for each permitted mobilehome lot, collected from management, which management may pass on and collect from the homeowner at the time of rent payment. The annual MRLPP registration fee must appear as a separate line item on the rent bill and be accompanied by a clear written description of the purposes of the charge, along with contact information for the HCD. For questions regarding the fee or the MRLPP, contact: the HCD at [email protected] or by calling (800) 952-8356. (Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 397, Sec. 1. (AB 2399) Effective January 1, 2025.) 798.16. INCLUSION OF OTHER PROVISIONS
(a) The rental agreement may include other provisions permitted by law, but need not include specific language contained in state or local laws not a part of this chapter.
(b) Management shall return an executed copy of the rental agreement to the homeowner within 15 business days after management has received the rental agreement signed by the homeowner. (Amended by Stats. 2004, Ch. 302, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2005.) 798.18. RENTAL AGREEMENTS EXEMPT FROM RENT CONTROL; RIGHT TO INSPECT (a) A homeowner shall be offered a rental agreement for (1) a term of 12 months, or (2) a lesser period as the homeowner may request, or (3) a longer period as mutually agreed upon by both the homeowner and management. (b) No rental agreement shall contain any terms or conditions with respect to charges for rent, utilities, or incidental reasonable service charges that would be different during the first 12 months of the rental agreement from the corresponding terms or conditions that would be offered to the homeowners on a month-to-month basis. (c) No rental agreement for a term of 12 months or less shall include any provision which authorizes automatic extension or renewal of, or automatically extends or renews, the rental agreement beyond the initial term for a term longer than 12 months at the sole option of either the management or the homeowner. (Amended by Stats. 1992, Ch. 289, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1993.) 798.19. NO WAIVER OF CHAPTER 2.5 RIGHTS
No rental agreement for a mobilehome shall contain a provision by which the homeowner waives his or her rights under the provisions of Articles 1 to 8, inclusive, of this chapter. Any such waiver shall be deemed contrary to public policy and void.
(Amended by Stats. 1982, Ch. 1397, Sec. 7.)
798.19.5. PARK OWNER RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE HOME A rental agreement entered into or renewed on and after January 1, 2006, shall not include a clause, rule, regulation, or any other provision that grants to management the right of first refusal to purchase a homeowner’s mobilehome that is in the park and offered for sale to a third party pursuant to Article 7 (commencing with Section 798.70). This section does not preclude a separate agreement for separate consideration granting the park owner or management a right of first refusal to purchase the homeowner’s mobilehome that is in the park and offered for sale. (Added by Stats. 2005, Ch. 35, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2006.) 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
6 798.20. NO PRIVATE CLUB DISCRIMINATION
(a) Membership in any private club or organization that is a condition for tenancy in a park shall not be denied on any basis listed in subdivision (a) or (d) of Section 12955 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926, 12926.1, subdivision (m) and paragraph (1) of subdivision (p) of Section 12955, and Section 12955.2 of the Government Code.
(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), with respect to familial status, subdivision (a) shall not be construed to apply to housing for older persons, as defined in Section 12955.9 of the Government Code. With respect to familial status, nothing in subdivision (a) shall be construed to affect Sections 51.2, 51.3, 51.4, 51.10, 51.11, and 799.5, relating to housing for senior citizens. Subdivision (d) of Section 51 and Section 4760 of this code and subdivisions (n), (o), and (p) of Section 12955 of the Government Code shall apply to subdivision (a). (Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 181, Sec. 26. (AB 806) Effective January 1, 2013. Operative January 1, 2014, by Sec. 86 of Ch. 181.) 798.21. NON-PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE - RENT CONTROL EXEMPT
(a) Notwithstanding Section 798.17, if a mobilehome space within a mobilehome park is not the principal residence of the homeowner and the homeowner has not rented the mobilehome to another party, it shall be exempt from any ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure adopted by any city, county, or city and county, which establishes a maximum amount that the landlord may charge a tenant for rent. (b) Nothing in this section is intended to require any homeowner to disclose information concerning his or her personal finances. Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize management to gain access to any records which would otherwise be confidential or privileged.
(c) For purposes of this section, a mobilehome shall be deemed to be the principal residence of the homeowner, unless a review of state or county records demonstrates that the homeowner is receiving a homeowner’s exemption for another property or mobilehome in this state, or unless a review of public records reasonably demonstrates that the principal residence of the homeowner is out of state.
(d) Before modifying the rent or other terms of tenancy as a result of a review of records, as described in subdivision (c), the management shall notify the homeowner, in writing, of the proposed changes and provide the homeowner with a copy of the documents upon which management relied.
(e) The homeowner shall have 90 days from the date the notice described in subdivision (d) is mailed to review and respond to the notice. Management may not modify the rent or other terms of tenancy prior to the expiration of the 90-day period or prior to responding, in writing, to information provided by the homeowner. Management may not modify the rent or other terms of tenancy if the homeowner provides documentation reasonably establishing that the information provided by management is incorrect or that the homeowner is not the same person identified in the documents.

15 removed. The notice shall include the rule, regulation, or code justifying the removal and shall provide an estimate of the charges to be imposed by management. The property to be removed shall not include the mobilehome or its appurtenances or accessory structures.
(2) The homeowner or resident shall be responsible for reimbursing to management the actual, reasonable costs, if any, of removing and storing the property. These costs incurred by management in correcting the rules violation associated with the removal and storage of the property, are deemed reasonable incidental service charges and may be collected pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 798.56 if a notice of nonpayment of the removal and storage fees, as described in paragraph (3), is personally served on the homeowner. (3) Within seven days from the date the property is removed to a storage area, management shall provide the homeowner or resident a written notice that includes an inventory of the property removed, the location where the property may be claimed, and notice that the cost of removal and storage shall be paid by the resident or homeowner. If, within 60 days, the homeowner or resident does not claim the property, the property shall be deemed to be abandoned, and management may dispose of the property in any manner. The homeowner’s or resident’s liability for storage charges shall not exceed 60 days. If the homeowner or resident claims the property, but has not reimbursed management for storage costs, management may bill those costs in a monthly statement which shall constitute notice of nonpayment, and the costs shall become the obligation of the homeowner or resident. If a resident or homeowner communicates in writing his or her intent to abandon the property before 60 days has expired, management may dispose of the property immediately and no further storage charges shall accrue.
(4) If management elects to dispose of the property by way of sale or auction, and the funds received from the sale or auction exceed the amount owed to management, management shall refund the difference to the homeowner or resident within 15 days from the date of management’s receipt of the funds from the sale or auction. The refund shall be delivered to the homeowner or resident by first-class mail postage prepaid to his or her address in the park, or by personal delivery, and shall include an accounting specifying the costs of removal and storage of the property incurred by management in correcting the rules violation and the amount of proceeds realized from any sale or auction. If a sale or auction of the property yields less than the costs incurred by management, the homeowner or resident shall be responsible for the difference, and this amount shall be deemed a reasonable incidental service charge and may be collected pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 798.56 if a notice of nonpayment of the removal and storage fees, as described in paragraph (3), is personally served on the homeowner. If management elects to proceed under this section, it may not also terminate the tenancy pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 798.56 based upon the specific violations relied upon to proceed under this section.

In any proceeding under this section, management shall bear the burden of proof that enforcement was undertaken in a nondiscriminatory, nonselective fashion. (Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 24, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2006.) 798.37. ENTRY, HOOKUP, LANDSCAPING AND MAINTENANCE CHARGES A homeowner may not be charged a fee for the entry, installation, hookup, or landscaping as a condition of tenancy except for an actual fee or cost imposed by a local governmental ordinance or requirement directly related to the occupancy of the specific site upon which the mobilehome is located and not incurred as a portion of the development of the mobilehome park as a whole. However, reasonable landscaping and maintenance requirements may be included in the park rules and regulations. The management may not require a homeowner or prospective homeowner to purchase, rent, or lease goods or services for landscaping, remodeling, or maintenance from any person, company, or corporation.

(1) A charge for volumetric usage, which may be calculated in any of the following ways:
(A) The amount shall be calculated by first determining the proportion of the homeowner’s usage, as shown by the submeter, to the total usage as shown by the water purveyor’s billing. The dollar amount billed to the homeowner for usage shall be in that same proportion to the dollar amount for usage shown by the water purveyor’s billing.
(B) If the water purveyor charges for volumetric usage based on a tiered rate schedule, management may calculate the charge for a homeowner’s volumetric usage as described in subparagraph (A) or management may instead divide each tier’s volume evenly among the number of mobilehome spaces, and the rate applicable to each block shall be applied to the consumption recorded for each mobilehome space. 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
18 (C) If the water purveyor charges the property rates on a per-mobilehome-space basis, the homeowners may be charged at those exact per-mobilehome-space rates.
(D) In no event shall the charge for volumetric usage under this paragraph include in its calculation water used by or for any common area facility in the park, or water used by any other person or entity, other than the homeowner being billed.
(2) Any recurring fixed charge, however that charge may be designated, for water service billed to the property by the water purveyors that, at management’s discretion, shall be calculated by either of the following:
(A) The homeowner’s proportion of the total fixed charges charged to management for the park’s water use. The homeowner’s proportion shall be based on the percentage of the homeowner’s volumetric water use in relation to the total volumetric water use of the entire park, as shown on management’s water bill during that period.

24 ARTICLE 6 - TERMINATION OF TENANCY
798.55. LEGISLATIVE INTENT; TERMINATION FOR CAUSE; 60-DAY NOTICE (a) The Legislature finds and declares that, because of the high cost of moving mobilehomes, the potential for damage resulting therefrom, the requirements relating to the installation of mobilehomes, and the cost of landscaping or lot preparation, it is necessary that the owners of mobilehomes occupied within mobilehome parks be provided with the unique protection from actual or constructive eviction afforded by the provisions of this chapter. (b) (1) The management may not terminate or refuse to renew a tenancy, except for a reason specified in this article and upon the giving of written notice to the homeowner, in the manner prescribed by Section 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure, to sell or remove, at the homeowner’s election, the mobilehome from the park within a period of not less than 60 days, which period shall be specified in the notice. A copy of this notice shall be sent to the legal owner, as defined in Section 18005.8 of the Health and Safety Code, each junior lienholder, as defined in Section 18005.3 of the Health and Safety Code, and the registered owner of the mobilehome, if other than the homeowner, by United States mail within 10 days after notice to the homeowner. The copy may be sent by regular mail or by certified or registered mail with return receipt requested, at the option of the management. (2) The homeowner shall pay past due rent and utilities upon the sale of a mobilehome pursuant to paragraph (1).

(f) No lawful act by the management to enforce this chapter or the rules and regulations of the park may be deemed or construed to waive or otherwise affect the notice to remove the mobilehome. (Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 24, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2006.) 798.56. SEVEN AUTHORIZED REASONS FOR TERMINATION OF TENANCY (REPEALED FEBRUARY 1, 2025) A tenancy shall be terminated by the management only for one or more of the following reasons:
(a) Failure of the homeowner or resident to comply with a local ordinance or state law or regulation relating to mobilehomes within a reasonable time after the homeowner receives a notice of noncompliance from the appropriate governmental agency.
(b) Conduct by the homeowner or resident, upon the park premises, that constitutes a substantial annoyance to other homeowners or residents.
(c) (1) Conviction of the homeowner or resident for prostitution, for a violation of subdivision (d) of Section 243, paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), or subdivision (b), of Section 245, Section 288, or Section 451, of the Penal Code, or a felony controlled substance offense, if the act resulting in the conviction was committed anywhere on the premises of the mobilehome park, including, but not limited to, within the homeowner’s mobilehome. (2) However, the tenancy may not be terminated for the reason specified in this subdivision if the person convicted of the offense has permanently vacated, and does not subsequently reoccupy, the mobilehome. (d) Failure of the homeowner or resident to comply with a reasonable rule or regulation of the park that is part of the rental agreement or any amendment thereto.

No act or omission of the homeowner or resident shall constitute a failure to comply with a reasonable rule or regulation unless and until the management has given the homeowner written notice of the alleged rule or regulation violation and the homeowner or resident has failed to adhere to the rule or regulation within seven days. However, if a homeowner has been given a written notice of an alleged violation of the same rule or regulation on three or more occasions within a 12-month period after the homeowner or resident has violated that rule or regulation, no written notice shall be required for a subsequent violation of the same rule or regulation. 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW

(a) If a mobilehome park is destroyed as a result of a wildfire or other natural disaster, and management elects to rebuild the park at the same location, management shall offer a renewed tenancy in the rebuilt mobilehome park to all previous homeowners in accordance with the following:
(1) The offer of renewed tenancy shall be on substantially the same terms as the previous homeowner’s rental agreement that was in existence at the time of the wildfire or other natural disaster. However, management may adjust terms in the previous rental agreement to reflect costs and expenses to rebuild the park that were incurred from the time of the disaster until management received a final certificate of occupancy for all spaces in the park.

These costs and expenses may include, but are not limited to, costs associated with demolition, reconstruction, and environmental remediation, as well as taxes and interest expenses. (2) Management shall provide the previous homeowner, upon request, a statement listing the costs and expenses incurred in rebuilding the park and how the costs and expenses relate to the adjustment of terms in the rental agreement.
(3) The offer shall include an application to accept the renewed tenancy, the terms of the renewed tenancy, the deposit required to secure the renewed tenancy, and a clear statement of when the offer expires. (4) Management shall send each previous homeowner the offer by certified mail, at least 240 days before the park is reopened, to the last postal address for the previous homeowner known to management, which may be the previous homeowner’s former address within the park. If management has an email address or telephone number for the previous homeowner, management shall additionally attempt to notify the homeowner of the offer by those means.
(5) A previous homeowner may accept the offer by submitting, within 60 days from the date the homeowner receives the offer, the application and required deposit to secure the renewed tenancy to management and sign a rental agreement. If the previous homeowner fails to accept the offer within this time period, then the previous homeowner’s right to a renewed tenancy under this section is deemed forfeited. (6) Management shall process applications for renewed tenancy on a first-come-first-served basis. (7) The previous homeowner shall not transfer the right to a renewed tenancy. (b) For purposes of this section, “previous homeowner” means a homeowner with a valid tenancy in a mobilehome park at the time of a wildfire or other natural disaster.

MOBILEHOME RESALE DISCLOSURE TO NEW BUYER
The transfer or sale of a manufactured home or mobilehome in a mobilehome park is subject to the transfer disclosure requirements and provisions set forth in Article 1.5 (commencing with Section 1102) of Chapter 2 of Title 4 of Part 4 of the Civil Code. The requirements include, but are not limited to, the use of the Manufactured Home and Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statement set forth in Section 1102.6d of the Civil Code. (Added by Stats. 2003, Ch. 249, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 2004.) 798.74.5. RENT DISCLOSURE TO PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS
(a) Within two business days of receiving a request from a prospective homeowner for an application for residency for a specific space within a mobilehome park, if the management has been advised that the mobilehome occupying that space is for sale, the management shall give the prospective homeowner a separate document in at least 12-point type entitled “INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS,” which includes the following statements:

“As a prospective homeowner you are being provided with certain information you should know prior to applying for tenancy in a mobilehome park. This is not meant to be a complete list of information.

Owning a home in a mobilehome park incorporates the dual role of “homeowner” (the owner of the home) and park resident or tenant (also called a “homeowner” in the Mobilehome Residency Law). As a homeowner under the Mobilehome Residency Law, you will be responsible for paying the amount necessary to rent the space for your home, 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
39 in addition to other fees and charges described below. You must also follow certain rules and regulations to reside in the park.

If you are approved for tenancy, and your tenancy commences within the next 30 days, your beginning monthly rent will be $____ (must be completed by the management) for space number ____ (must be completed by the management). Additional information regarding future rent or fee increases may also be provided.

In addition to the monthly rent, you will be obligated to pay to the park the following additional fees and charges listed below. Other fees or charges may apply depending upon your specific requests. Metered utility charges are based on use.

(Management shall describe the fee or charge and a good faith estimate of each fee or charge.)

Some spaces are governed by an ordinance, rule, regulation, or initiative measure that limits or restricts rents in mobilehome parks. These laws are commonly known as “rent control.” Prospective purchasers who do not occupy the mobilehome as their principal residence may be subject to rent levels which are not governed by these laws. (Civil Code Section 798.21) Long-term leases specify rent increases during the term of the lease. By signing a rental agreement or lease for a term of more than one year, you may be removing your rental space from a local rent control ordinance during the term, or any extension, of the lease if a local rent control ordinance is in effect for the area in which the space is located.

A fully executed lease or rental agreement, or a statement signed by the park’s management and by you stating that you and the management have agreed to the terms and conditions of a rental agreement, is required to complete the sale or escrow process of the home. You have no rights to tenancy without a properly executed lease or agreement or that statement. (Civil Code Section 798.75)

If the management collects a fee or charge from you in order to obtain a financial report or credit rating, the full amount of the fee or charge will be either credited toward your first month’s rent or, if you are rejected for any reason, refunded to you. However, if you are approved by management, but, for whatever reason, you elect not to purchase the mobilehome, the management may retain the fee to defray its administrative costs. (Civil Code Section 798.74)

We encourage you to request from management a copy of the lease or rental agreement, the park’s rules and regulations, and a copy of the Mobilehome Residency Law. Upon request, park management will provide you a copy of each document. We urge you to read these documents before making the decision that you want to become a mobilehome park resident.

Dated: _____________________________________________________________________________________ Signature of Park Manager: ____________________________________________________________________ Acknowledge Receipt by Prospective Homeowner: _________________________________________________ (b) Management shall provide a prospective homeowner, upon his or her request, with a copy of the rules and regulations of the park and with a copy of this chapter.
(Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 337, Sec. 1. (AB 317) Effective January 1, 2013.) 798.75. RENTAL AGREEMENT REQUIRED FOR PARK OCCUPANCY

Accordingly, reasonable restrictions on a solar energy system are those restrictions that do not significantly increase the cost of the system or significantly decrease its efficiency or specified performance, or that allow for an alternative system of comparable cost, efficiency, and energy conservation benefits. (d) (1) For purposes of this section, “solar energy system” has the same meaning as defined in paragraphs (1) and (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 801.5.

(3) Solar energy systems and solar collectors used for heating water shall be certified by an accredited listing agency as defined in the California Plumbing and Mechanical Codes. (4) A solar energy system for producing electricity shall also meet all applicable safety and performance standards established by the California Electrical Code, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and accredited testing laboratories such as Underwriters Laboratories and, if applicable, rules of the Public Utilities Commission regarding safety and reliability.
(e) This section shall not apply to a master-meter park. “Master-meter park” as used in this section means “mastermeter customer” as used in Section 739.5 of the Public Utilities Code. (f) Any entity that willfully violates this section shall be liable to the homeowner, resident, or other party for actual damages occasioned thereby, and shall pay a civil penalty to the homeowner, resident, or other party in an amount not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000).
(g) In any action to enforce compliance with this section, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney’s fees.

SELECTED PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA LAW RELATING TO MOBILEHOMES 2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
50 MANUFACTURED HOME & MOBILEHOME RESALES DISCLOSURE
CIVIL CODE §1102 DISCLOSURE ON MOBILHOME RESALES
(a) Except as provided in Section 1102.2, this article applies to any transfer by sale, exchange, real property sales contract as defined in Section 2985, lease with an option to purchase, any other option to purchase, or ground lease coupled with improvements of any single-family residential property. (b) For purposes of this article, the definitions contained in Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 10000) of Part 1 of Division 4 of the Business and Professions Code shall apply. (c) Any waiver of the requirements of this article is void as against public policy. (Amended by Stats. 2019, Ch. 310, Sec. 3. (AB 892) Effective January 1, 2020.) CIVIL CODE §1102.1. DISCLOSURE CLARIFICATION
(a) In enacting Chapter 817 of the Statutes of 1994, it was the intent of the Legislature to clarify and facilitate the use of the real estate disclosure statement, as specified in Section 1102.6. The Legislature intended the statement to be used by transferors making disclosures required under this article and by agents making disclosures required by Section 2079 on the agent’s portion of the real estate disclosure statement, in transfers subject to this article. In transfers not subject to this article, agents may make required disclosures in a separate writing. The Legislature did not intend to affect the existing obligations of the parties to a real estate contract, or their agents, to disclose any fact materially affecting the value and desirability of the property, including, but not limited to, the physical conditions of the property and previously received reports of physical inspections noted on the disclosure form set forth in Section 1102.6 or 1102.6a, and that nothing in this article shall be construed to change the duty of a real estate broker or salesperson pursuant to Section 2079.

It is also the intent of the Legislature that the delivery of a real estate transfer disclosure statement may not be waived in an “as is” sale, as held in Loughrin v. Superior Court (1993) 15 Cal. App. 4th 1188. (b) In enacting Chapter 677 of the Statutes of 1996, it was the intent of the Legislature to clarify and facilitate the use of the manufactured home and mobilehome transfer disclosure statement applicable to the resale of a manufactured home or mobilehome pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 1102. The Legislature intended the statements to be used by transferors making disclosures required under this article and by agents making disclosures required by Section 2079 on the agent’s portion of the disclosure statement and as required by Section 18046 of the Health and Safety Code on the dealer’s portion of the manufactured home and mobilehome transfer disclosure statement, in transfers subject to this article. In transfers not subject to this article, agents may make required disclosures in a separate writing. The Legislature did not intend to affect the existing obligations of the parties to a real estate contract, or their agents, to disclose any fact materially affecting the value and desirability of the property, including, but not limited to, the physical conditions of the property and previously received reports of physical inspections noted on the disclosure form set forth in Section 1102.6 or 1102.6a or to affect the existing obligations of the parties to a manufactured home or mobilehome purchase contract, and nothing in this article shall be construed to change the duty of a real estate broker or salesperson pursuant to Section 2079 or the duty of a manufactured home or mobilehome dealer or salesperson pursuant to Section 18046 of the Health and Safety Code.

It is also the intent of the Legislature that the delivery of a mobilehome transfer disclosure statement may not be waived in an “as is” sale.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that manufactured home and mobilehome dealers and salespersons and real estate brokers and salespersons use the form provided pursuant to Section 1102.6d. It is also the intent of the Legislature for sellers of manufactured homes or mobilehomes who are neither manufactured home dealers or salespersons nor real estate brokers or salespersons to use the Manufactured Home/Mobilehome Transfer Disclosure Statement contained in Section 1102.6d.
(d) Nothing in Assembly Bill 1289 of the 2017–18 Regular Session or Assembly Bill 2884 of the 2017–18 Regular Session shall be construed to affect any of the following:
(1) A real estate broker’s duties under existing statutory or common law as an agent of a person who retains that broker to perform acts for which a license is required under this division. (2) Any fiduciary duties owed by a real estate broker to a person who retains that broker to perform acts for which a license is required under this division.
2025 CALIFORNIA MOBILHOME RESIDENCY LAW
51 (3) Any duty of disclosure or any other duties or obligations of a real estate broker, which arise under this division or other existing, applicable California law, including common law. (4) Any duties or obligations of a salesperson or a broker associate, which arise under this division or existing, applicable California law, including common law, and duties and obligations to the salesperson’s or broker associate’s responsible broker.
(5) A responsible broker’s duty of supervision and oversight for the acts of retained salespersons or broker associates, which arise under this division or other existing, applicable California law, including common law.

For purposes of this subdivision, references to “existing statutory law” and “existing, applicable California law” refer to the law as it read immediately prior to enactment of Assembly Bill 1289 of the 2017–18 Regular Session and Assembly Bill 2884 of the 2017–18 Regular Session.
