Attention WMA Members: WMA needs your help immediately to defeat the passage of Assembly Bills 2690 by Assemblymember Evan Low and AB 2895 by Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva.

AB 2895 (Quirk-Silva) imposes rent caps and dictates the terms of how you own, operate, financially manage and maintain your mobilehome community. To view the legislation, please click on the following link:

SAMPLE LETTER

Assemblymember [INSERT NAME]    
California State Assembly
State Capitol 
Sacramento, CA 95814    

RE: OPPOSE AB 2690 (Low) and AB 2895 (Quirk-Silva) – RENT CONTROL MEASURES

Dear Assemblymember [INSERT NAME]:

I am the owner/manager of ____mobilehome park in ______ (city). I strongly oppose AB 2690 (Low) and AB 2895 (Quirk-Silva) because they limit my ability to provide safe, secure, and affordable housing at a time when affordable housing stock is critical.   

Mobilehome parks are an essential asset and opportunity to contribute towards a solution to our statewide housing crisis, and these restrictive and punitive measures prevent me and my colleagues from working to provide homes for people who need them at an affordable price in a time when people are struggling to find safe, secure and high-quality housing for their families.

Both of these bills, if passed, would create a great deal of uncertainty in how mobilehome parks operate in the future.

Please vote no on AB 2690 and AB 2895.

Sincerely,

[YOUR NAME, PARK NAME]
