The following provisions apply to any rental space that is vacated or to the replacement of any coach on a rental space.
(a) The maximum adjusted rent may be increased by ten percent (10%) upon re-rental of an existing coach to a new tenant. This shall be known as a "Type A Recontrol."
(b) The maximum adjusted rent may be increased to any amount under the following circumstances and shall be known as "Type B Recontrol":
(1) The space is re-rented to a new tenant who replaces the existing Mobile home or brings a new mobile home to an empty space; or
(2) An existing tenant who has been a resident for less than one year replaces the existing mobile home.
(c) No increase in rent shall be permitted for a change of coach by an existing tenant who has been a resident of the park at least one (1) year.
(d) Notwithstanding subsection (a), (b), and (c) above, no increase shall be permitted if the new tenant of an existing mobile home is an immediate family member of the existing tenant and is not otherwise exempt from this chapter under Section 5-25.03. For purposes of this section the term "immediate family member" shall include a parent, grandparent, child, sibling, stepparent, stepchild, or stepsibling only.
(e) Thereafter, as long as the rental space continues to be rented by one (1) or more of the same persons, no other rent increase shall be imposed except as provided in this chapter.
(f) Notice of increases. Notice of any increase in rent pursuant to this section shall be given by the landlord in accordance with the Civil Code of the State of California. If an increase has been noticed but not effected prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, said notice shall be construed as a valid notice to increase rents in an amount not to exceed the increase permitted by this section.
