Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA) is a
nonprofit organization created in 1945 for the exclusive purpose
of promoting and protecting the interests of owners, operators
and developers of manufactured home communities in California.
The Mobilehome Residency Protection Program (MRLPP) was enacted
in January 2019. It charges the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) to administer the program and begin
billing parkowners $10 per permitted space. Click here to read more on how
the program works and how it will affect your park.
People who purchased a mobilehome or manufactured home but didn’t
receive the necessary title to the property now have a
chance to properly register their homes with the new Fee and Tax
Waiver Program – and avoid paying hundreds or even
thousands of dollars in state and local taxes, fees and
penalties.
Attention WMA Members: WMA needs your help immediately to defeat
the passage of Senate Bill 999 by Senator Tom Umberg.
SB 999 seeks to effectively prohibit long-term leases, and it
even goes so far as to extend its effect on leases signed and
executed on or after February 13, 2020.
California voters this November will likely see an
initiative that would undo part of a landmark law that has capped
property tax increases for decades.
The so-called “split-roll” initiative would change how California
taxes properties, retaining a limit on tax increases for
residential properties but allowing new assessments of commercial
sites worth more than $3 million.
Three landlords across the state are suing to stop the Judicial
Council of California’s eviction moratorium, arguing the council
has exceeded its powers and should allow some delinquent renters
to be removed from their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lawyers for the landlords say the council’s temporary ban on
state courts handling eviction hearings is unconstitutional, and
any protections should be enacted by the legislature.

Californians must wear masks in all indoor public spaces under a
mandate announced Thursday by Gov. Gavin Newsom designed to slow
the spread of COVID-19.
The new rules require face coverings when people are riding in
taxis and rideshare cars, taking public transit, standing in line
to enter a building or walking through common areas like
hallways, stairways, elevators and parking garages.
The city of Sacramento has asked a judge to allow it to keep a
rent control initiative off the Nov. 3 ballot.
The lawsuit, which the city filed Monday in Sacramento County
Superior Court, names Michelle Pariset as a defendant.
Pariset is one of three women who were listed as “proponents”
when their 2018 ballot initiative gathered more than 44,000
signatures, enough to qualify it for the city ballot.
Due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 outbreaks and
shelters-in-place throughout the state of California, WMA has
decided to cancel all MCM seminars until 2021. All registrants
for 2020 seminars will receive a full refund via check. We ask
for your patience while we proceed through this process.
We will provide MCM credits through webinars throughout 2020.
Information on webinars will be provided shortly, including
dates, topic and cost.
