Mobilehome Park Rent Control

Sonoma’s Mobilehome Park Rent Control Ordinance protects residents, many of whom are seniors or on fixed incomes, from significant rent increases while ensuring park owners receive a fair return. Applications for rent increases are now submitted to the City Manager.  Appeals of City Manager decisions are heard by a hearing officer selected through the California Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH).

• Annual rent increases are tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
• The City publishes an Annual CPI Announcement each year.
• Park owners may request additional rent increases with a formal application to the City Manager.
• Decisions may be appealed to an independent hearing officer through the California Office of Administrative Hearings.
