DATE : May 22 , 1998 (Meeting of June 3, 1998)
SUBJECT: Consider Convening Mobilehome Review Panel for
Hardship Waiver Applications
Background
Chapter 5. 52 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, the Mobilehome Park
Rent Stabilization Ordinance, provides tenants the option to
petition a mobilehome park owner to request a waiver of a noticed
space rent increase due to hardship. Within ten days after a
statement of hardship is filed by the tenant, the park owner is
required to notify the tenant that the proposed rent increase
will be reduced, or request the Mobilehome Park Rent Review Board
to convene a review panel . The purpose of the panel is to
consider the tenant' s request to waive the proposed rent
increase, and its decision is final . This panel is to consist of
"the mayor, a councilmember selected by the mayor with approval
of the city council and the owner" (Sec. 5. 52 . 140B) .
Discussion
Moorpark Mobilehome Park noticed tenants of a proposed 4% space
rent increase, effective July 1, 1998 . Seven applications were
received by the park owner for hardship waiver of the noticed
space rent increase. The owner of the park has approved two (2)
of the applications; he filed a request to convene the
Mobilehome Review Panel to consider the remaining five (5)
applications for hardship waivers .

Any applications filed in a timely manner and not granted by the
owner of Moorpark Mobilehome Park must be submitted to the
panel, which must render a decision within thirty-five days .
Each application which is referred to the panel will require an
individual meeting with the tenant on the grounds of the
mobilehome park.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Mayor nominate a Councilmember to serve on
the review panel to consider hardship waiver applications for
Moorpark Mobilehome Park and that Council approve this
selection.
