Standing with Our Mobilehome Residents

Summary

Councilmember Bien Doan strongly opposes the proposed Mobilehome Rent Ordinance (MRO) staff recommendation that includes vacancy decontrol at 10 percent, citing its potential to cause sharp rent increases and threaten long-term affordability for mobilehome residents. She emphasizes the importance of stability and strong protections for residents who own their homes but rent the land, many of whom are seniors and working families. Doan also calls for due process and transparency in capital pass-throughs, insisting residents must have hearings before costs are shifted onto them. She supports the Campos memo, which seeks to strengthen rent protections and promote park sustainability through fee reductions and streamlined permits without burdening residents. Tonight’s City Council meeting will consider these competing proposals and further staff research.
