Potential litigation over proposed Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Ordinance
Jurupa Valley
Summary
The council is rewriting the city's never-implemented rent stabilization ordinance to protect mobilehome tenants from excessive space rent increases. The fight is over the annual cap: residents pushed for 0% or 70% of CPI, park owners warned of lawsuits and hardship petitions, and the council landed on 2% (or CPI, whichever is lower) as a starting point it can tighten later.
