Contempo Marin

San Rafael’s Mobilehome Rent Stabilization Ordinance restricts the rents that may be charged at mobilehome parks within the City.  However, expenditures qualifying under the ordinance as capital improvements or replacements are not considered to be part of the base rent, allowing the park owner to pass the costs of reasonable capital improvements through to the tenants.  At Monday’s meeting the City Council will consider an appeal of the arbitrator’s decision on Contempo Marin Mobilehome Park’s rent increase petition.
