Riverside panel targets rent hikes on inherited mobile homes
Riverside's Housing and Homelessness Committee on Sept. 28 recommended changes to the city's mobile home rent stabilization ordinance that would limit space-rent increases when a home is inherited and define which park costs can be billed as capital improvements. Members aim to bring the changes to the City Council in November.
Key facts
- Under the current ordinance, a sale or inheritance can let a park owner reset space rent to market rate.
- Riverside adopted rent stabilization in 1992; March 2025 amendments set a 2% floor and 4% cap on annual increases.
- Committee Chair Luis Hernandez and Councilmember Clarissa Cervantes backed protecting family members who inherit a home.
- Park representatives and the Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association opposed further restrictions.
