RE: California / Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) / GSMOL

Thu, Jan 30, 2025 – The MHPHOA HTML and the GSMOL PDF versions of the 2025 California Mobilehome Residency Law have been updated to reflect all changes for the 2025 year.

Division 2, Part 2, Chap. 2.5 of the Civil Code. The Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) is the “landlord-tenant law” for mobilehome parks, which, like landlord-tenant law and other Civil Code provisions, are enforced in a court of law. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not have authority to enforce violations of the MRL.
