Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Re: resident laws

Morgan Hills does have mobile park rent control, so I assume these apply after nine months. Here are the applicable codeshttp://www.bpcnet.com/codes/morganhill/

As to whether an RV park qualifies, I can't help as you haven't given me enough facts.

Go to the city and ask for help, or resubmit. Also, your landlord at the RV Park should know.

You are welcome. Sorry I cannot do more.

Re: resident laws

Morgan Hill has 13 Mobile Home and/or RV parks. Of the 13, 6 are purely RV parks. Those six are Coyote Valley, Uvas Pines, Maple Leaf, Oak Dell, Parkway Lakes and Morgan Hill Preserve. If you are in a purely RV park, I don't believe that the rent control ordinance would apply to you even after 9 months, but you need to check with the City on that point as their ordinance may extend to long-term RV tenants also. If you live in one of the seven other parks, your RV is on a mobilehome site, and you have been there nine months or more continuously without interruption (must meet all three requirements), then your RV is deemed to be a mobilehome covered by the Mobile Home Residency Law and would most likely qualify for protection under the rent control statute (See Civil Code 798.3 which defines certain RVs as Mobile Homes). Attorney Bennett is correct - check with the City planning department - they can tell you who is and who is not covered by the ordinance.
