Park Closures and Conversions
This blog post has an outline of issues. In summary, to legally close a mobile home park requires following a process of writing and distributing a Conversion Impact Report, to assess impacts on the community, and notifying residents, at least 5 months before closure. They can’t just shut down.
Furthermore, State law requires that cities also have a MH closure or conversion process, and Rosemead has one.
If there’s talk about closing the MHP down, but they haven’t done this process, then, the landlord/managers may be breaking the law.
