Rent Review ("Rent Control")

The Housing Division implements a rent stabilization process for eligible mobilehome residents, under Chula Vista Municipal Code Chapter 9.50 - Mobilehome Park Space Rent Review.  Residents are eligible for rent control if they meet certain criteria and have paid the Administrative Fee for that fiscal year.  The fee for the period of July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 is $25 per eligible space.  Full payment must be received by September 5, 2017.  Download CVMC 9.50 Administrative Fee FAQ. 

Rent control limits the increase a park owner can impose to a resident once per year to the Current Annual Permissive Increase.  If a park owner proposes something over the permissive rate for that year a resident may petition the increase to the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission.
