CHAPTER 17.1. MOBILEHOMES.

Sec. 17.1-5. Vacancy decontrol.

Notwithstanding the limitations on rent increases otherwise set forth in this chapter, upon changes in the ownership of the mobilehome that is on a space, the rent for the space may be increased without limit. The new rent established at time of change of ownership pursuant to this section shall be subject to the increase restrictions of this chapter.

This section shall not be applicable to a change in ownership due to an involuntary eviction or the death of a mobilehome owner wherein the deceased tenant's spouse or parents take over the occupancy of the mobilehome. If the deceased tenant's children take over the occupancy, the park owner may not institute a vacancy decontrol increase as long as there are children under the age of eighteen who occupy the mobilehome.

This section shall not be applicable if there is merely a replacement of the mobilehome without a change in the park tenancy. (Ord. No. 2110 (NCS), § 1; Ord. No. 2214 (NCS), § 1.)
