Mobilehome Community

The City of Yucaipa is home to 41 mobilehome parks with approximately 4,270 spaces. These communities provide a variety of living styles from family/all age parks to senior parks, and from smaller trailer parks to large communities with amenities.

*On March 13, 2023, the City Council directed the issuance of a Request for Proposals process seeking Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Hearing Officer services in place of the Mobilehome Rent Review Commission (MRRC) process and approved the elimination of the appeal process. Council direction was based on the on-going reoccurring issues of finding, filling and maintaining the five-member commission with qualified candidates that could understand the complexity of the documents associated with the special rent adjustment application process. The Ordinance was approved at the March 27, 2023, City Council meeting and will take effect on the 31st day following its adoption, provided, however, that the provisions of this Ordinance shall be effective as to any application deemed complete on or after April 6, 2023. The full text of the Ordinance may be accessed here.

Deputy Rent Administrator

The City of Yucaipa’s Rent Stabilization Program offers the following services related to Mobilehome Parks, Park Owners and Residents:

Rent Control

What is Rent Control?

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. 236 or 221 for review and assistance.

Rent Control Fees

On September 12, 2022, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2022-51, which establishes the 2023 Annual Registration fees for the enforcement of the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Ordinance.

The 2022 Annual Registration approved by City Council is $105.12 per rent control space per year. Pursuant to YMC 15.20, the Park Owner may pass on one-half of the Annual Registration fee to residents of those spaces that are under the provisions of rent control in twelve (12) equal monthly installments. The resident’s assessment of one-half of the Annual Registration fee is currently $52.56 per year ($4.38 per month) and will decrease to $52.08 per year ($4.34 per month) effective January 1, 2023. This fee is separate from your base rent and is required to be separately itemized on your rent invoice.

The Biennial Review of the Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Ordinance (Yucaipa Municipal Code [YMC] §15.20) and Administrative Rules shall be reviewed by the City Council in odd-numbered years to determine whether it is still appropriate and whether there should be any modifications of its provisions.
