How Can We Help?
The HCD program needs to accumulate funding for about a year and a half before it can begin taking complaints. We need to use that time to learn as much about MRL violations as possible. The “MRL Handbook” published by the California Senate Select Committee on Manufactured Home Communities contains, in addition to the MRL itself, a “Frequently Asked Questions” section that explains the laws contained within the MRL in ordinary language (not “legalese”). You can view the MRL Handbook online at https://mobilehomes.senate.ca.gov/sites/mobilehomes.senate.ca.gov/files/2018_mobilehome_residency_law_handbook.pdf. Or if you would prefer a hard copy, you’ll find instructions for how to order one on the pink sheet called “The MRL” that is available from GSMOL. Our “sister” nonprofit corporation, the Golden State Manufactured-home Owners Education Fund (GSMOEF) has an educational website with “courses” on the MRL and other topics. You can read through the MRL “course”, then take an “exam” to become a “certified MRL Master”. You can find the website at: www.mobilehomeresidentadvocate.blogspot.com
