Executive Summary
The Mobilehome Rent Review Commission ("Commission") was established to provide a process for manufactured home owners in rental parks to request a review of proposed space rent increases from manufactured home park owners. The Commission provides a process for mobile home park owners to receive a fair and reasonable rate of return on their investments.
