Nothing in this subchapter shall operate to restrict the right of the resident or management to enter into a agreement in accordance with Cal. Civ. Code § 798.17. Pursuant to Cal. Civ. Code § 798.17(c), the resident shall have the option to reject the offered rental agreement and accept a rental agreement for a term of 12 months or less, including a month to month agreement. No owner may require, directly or indirectly, that any resident or prospective resident sign a lease or rental agreement with a term in excess of 12 months or that provides that it shall be exempt from local rent control as a condition of residency in the park, and no owner may deny a tenancy to a prospective purchaser of a mobile home in the park on the ground that the prospective purchaser will not sign such a lease or rental agreement.
