A Park Owner shall be permitted to charge a new Space Rent for a Mobilehome Space subject <br />to the terms of this chapter whenever a lawful Space vacancy occurs. The new Space Rent <br />shall become the Base Rent upon which future rent increases pursuant to this chapter will be <br />calculated. For the purposes of this chapter, a lawful Space vacancy is defined as any of the <br />following: <br /> <br />1. Voluntary in place transfer, which is a sale, transfer or other conveyance of a <br />mobilehome with the mobilehome remaining on the mobilehome space following <br />the sale, transfer or conveyance. A transfer of title whereby the Mobilehome Owner <br />adds or removes one or more co-owners and continues to reside in the mobilehome <br />as their primary residence shall not constitute an in-place transfer. No increase may <br />be imposed pursuant to this Section when an existing Mobilehome Owner replaces <br />an existing Mobilehome with another Mobilehome, occupying the same <br />Mobilehome Space. No increase may be imposed pursuant to this Section where <br />title to the Mobilehome passes to one or more person(s) who, at the time of the title <br />transfer, (1) was/were also lawful, authorized resident(s) of the mobilehome, or (2) <br />were/are parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews of the <br />Mobilehome Owner and the Mobilehome remains in the same Space. A Park <br />Owner may not condition an in-place transfer of a Mobilehome, or condition the <br />assignment of an existing lease to a prospective Mobilehome Owner that is subject <br />to this Ordinance, upon agreement to an increased Rent. <br /> <br />2. Voluntary removal of a mobilehome by the mobilehome owner who will no longer <br />be a resident of the Park. Removal of the mobilehome from the Space for the <br />purpose of performing rehabilitation or Capital Improvements to the Space or for <br />the purpose of upgrading the mobilehome with a newer mobilehome shall not <br />constitute a voluntary removal of the mobilehome under this section. <br /> <br />3. A vacancy occurring after the Park Owner obtains a judgment of unlawful detainer <br />(an eviction), a judgment of abandonment for an “abandoned mobilehome” as <br />defined by and pursuant to the Mobilehome Residency Law, or other termination <br />of the tenancy of the Affected Mobilehome Owner in accordance with the <br />Mobilehome Residency Law, California Civil Code Sections 798.55 through <br />798.60, as amended. <br /> <br />4. Abandonment of the mobilehome as determined by a judgment of abandonment <br />pursuant to section 798.61 of the Mobilehome Residency Law. <br /> <br />B. Rent Increases authorized by this Section shall be in addition to any other Rent Increases <br />authorized by this Chapter. <br />
