MOBILEHOME PARKS ACT - Division 13, Chap. 2.1 of the Health & Safety Code
The "Mobilehome Parks Act (MPA)” establishes requirements for park permits, fees, and health and
safety code responsibilities of park operators and code enforcement agencies, primarily the
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).  The Act also requires HCD to
promulgate regulations to carry out this Act and enforce it – also see Title 25 below.
The MPA does not relate to mobilehome park tenancies and should not be confused with the MRL (above).


TITLE 25 REGULATIONS (Mobilehome Parks Act) - effective January 2, 2007
HCD regulations to carry out the Mobilehome Parks Act are contained in the
California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division I, Chapter 2 commencing with
section 1000.  The regulations include specific requirements for park construction,
maintenance, use, occupancy, and design and include requirements for items such
as lot identification, lighting and roadway width, plan and permit requirements,
specific requirements for the installation of mobilehomes, accessory structures
and buildings, earthquake resistant bracing systems, application procedures,
fees, enforcement and appeal procedures.


The Recreational Vehicle Park Occupancy Law (Chapter 2.6 of the California Civil Code)

The Recreational Vehicle (RV) Park Occupancy Law is basically the landlord-tenant law
for recreational vehicle (RV) and special occupancy parks, the provisions of which, like
conventional landlord-tenant law and other Civil Code provisions, are enforced in a court of law.
The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not have authority
to enforce violations of the RV Occupancy Law.
