A mobilehome park owner shall not increase the rental rate (the amount of rent being paid by the seller of the mobilehome at the time of the sale) of a mobilehome space to a subsequent mobilehome owner-occupant for that space; provided, however, that nothing in this chapter shall prohibit a mobilehome park owner from increasing the monthly space rent for a mobilehome park space when the mobilehome has been removed from the park, where the mobilehome has been abandoned by its owner, or when a legal eviction of a mobilehome owner-occupant is effected by the property owner. (Ord. 2532 § 10, 2003; Ord. 2458 § 9, 2000: Ord. 2207 § 1, 1993)
