California SB 1092, the resident bid bill for mobilehome park sales, did not become law in 2026
SB 1092 by Sen. Ben Allen would have given mobilehome park residents a chance to bid competitively when their park is offered for sale. It passed the Senate but stalled in the Assembly and was not signed this year.
Key facts
