The General Services Department implements the rent stabilization program for eligible mobilehome residents, under Yucaipa Municipal Code Yucaipa Municipal Code 15.20 (YMC), pursuant to the City Council adopted Administrative Rules.   Residents are eligible for rent control if they own their home and are not under a long-term lease.

The fee for calendar year 2020 is $70.80 for each space that is not exempt from the YMC.  The YMC allows for one-half of the annual amount to be passed on to residents of those spaces that are subject to the YMC in twelve (12) equal monthly installments in the amount of $2.95.

Rent control limits the increase a park owner can impose to a resident once per year to the current Annual Rent Adjustment based on the CPI.  Commencing in 2020, and thereafter, the Annual Adjustment for each calendar year shall be calculated using the increase in the CPI index for the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario areas, All Urban Consumers, for the preceding twelve-month period ending November. If a park owner proposes something over the permissive rate for that year a resident may contact the General Services Department at 909-797-2489, ext. 230 or 221 for review and assistance.
