More detail

The rules include mobilehome tenancy rules, specified civil rights protections, and rules for senior mobilehome parks. This applies if they fail or choose not to meet federal requirements tied to a federally approved housing program.
A local agency may check residents’ ages and inspect park records to do so. This applies when mobilehome park owners, operators, or managers fail or choose not to perform age checks under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995. The agency may use any method allowed by law to check ages and may inspect park records for that check.
