This chapter creates legal requirements and procedures that must be followed when rent is increased in mobilehome parks. In the event a mobilehome park owner increases rent without complying with the provisions of this chapter, including but not limited to providing the required notice, the park owner may be held accountable for such failure through criminal, civil and administrative action in accordance with CVMC 9.50.100 and 9.50.102. A park owner who willfully and improperly collects rent shall be subject to repayment of up to three times the amount of rent improperly collected, after a hearing before the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission, or in a civil action brought by a mobilehome resident. (Ord. 3255 § 1, 2013; Ord. 3195 § 1, 2011; Ord. 2862 § 1, 2002).
