The Board of Supervisors finds that various mobile home parks prohibit the owner of a mobile home from renting it for any period of time, and that such nonrental rules from time to time impose hardships on owners of mobile homes who are unable to reside in their mobile homes, but are held liable for the space rental and upkeep of their mobile home while it is vacant and until the mobile home can be sold or otherwise re-occupied. It is the purpose of this chapter to alleviate hardships on such owners who are unable to reside in their mobile homes by allowing the temporary rental of the mobile home for a reasonable period required for the owner to sell or re-occupy the mobile home.
(Ord. 3493 § 1, 1984)
It shall be unlawful for any person to prohibit an owner of a mobile home in a mobile home park from renting the mobile home for up to one year under the following circumstances:
(A) 
An owner of a mobile home who has resided therein for at least one year is unable to continue to occupy the mobile home either temporarily or permanently by reason of illness or absence from the area for other than vacation purposes.
(B) 
An owner of a mobile home who has resided therein for at least one year can no longer continue to meet the rules of occupancy of a mobile home park by reason of a change of circumstances (i.e., the birth of a child in an adult-only park, etc.).
(C) 
An owner or person in a fiduciary capacity who has received title to a mobile home as a result of the death of the previous owner, or due to bankruptcy or foreclosure procedures requires time to arrange for the sale of the mobile home or arrange for occupancy of the mobile home by the owner.
Any renter of a mobile home must meet all the rules of occupancy of the mobile home park in which the mobile home is located with the exception of any rule which directly or indirectly prohibits, in conflict with this section, the temporary rental of a mobile home for up to one year.
(Ord. 3493 § 1, 1984; Ord. 4105 § 1, 1991)
It shall be unlawful for any person to prohibit an owner of a mobile home in a mobile home park from renting that mobile home as long as one or more other mobile homes in the park are being rented or offered for rent by the mobile home park owner; provided, however, that a rental by the park owner of one mobile home to and for the occupancy by the park manager shall not be considered a rental for purposes of this section.
Any renter of a mobile home must meet all the rules of occupancy of the mobile home park in which the mobile home is located with the exception of any rule which directly or indirectly prohibits, in conflict with this section, the rental of a mobile home.
