San Jose is revising its rent control policy to clarify that recreational vehicles (RVs) are classified as mobile homes, which allows for better protection of RV tenants from illegal rent increases. This change is in response to landlords like Western Trailer Park attempting to circumvent existing regulations by claiming RVs don't fall under the same category as traditional mobile homes. The goal is to ensure enforcement of rent regulations while enhancing housing stability for residents living in RVs within mobile home parks.
The recent technical guidance from San Jose seeks to clarify that recreational vehicles are indeed considered mobile homes to protect residents from illegal rent increases.
Harmony Communities challenges the city's updated policy, arguing that RVs and RV lots should not fall under the same rent controls as traditional mobile homes.
