CC/SPE, LLC v. City of Rancho Mirage
Colony owns a mobilehome park in Rancho Mirage. Defendant City of Rancho Mirage (the City) has a Mobilehome Park Rent Control Ordinance (the rent control ordinance or the ordinance), which applies to mobilehome parks and their residents located within Rancho Mirage. The ordinance is codified at chapter 9.58 of the Rancho Mirage Municipal Code (RMMC). The Citys Mobilehome Fair Practices Commission (the Commission) is charged with the duty of interpreting, implementing, and applying the ordinance. In June 2004, Colony served a 90-day Notice of Rent Increase on Lloyd and Therese Gallus (the Galluses), who rented space No. 216 in Colonys mobilehome park. Because the mobilehome space was not the Galluses principal residence, it was exempt from the rent control ordinance. (Civ. Code, 798.21.) Pursuant to the Notice of Rent Increase, Colony increased the Galluses monthly rent from $519.56 to $825. The rent increase went into effect on October 1, 2004. The Galluses did not contest the rent increase and started paying the increased rate as scheduled. The judgment is affirmed.
