Corona City Council moved on and approved Item 6.2, a rent‑stabilization measure for mobile‑home parks, after multiple residents and advocates urged the council to adopt protections to keep long‑term residents housed.

Speakers at the council meeting framed the measure as essential to protect vulnerable households. Don Fuller, a resident who spoke during the public comment period, opposed a case‑by‑case approach and said the ordinance should not be subject to ad hoc exemptions. Riverside Council Member Clarissa Cervantes commended Corona’s leadership for pursuing a mobile‑home park rent‑stabilization program and called the ordinance “phenomenal” for helping keep people housed. Several residents described wide rent increases and asked the council to cap resale rent increases and require more transparent monthly billing statements.

Council members voiced support and moved to approve Item 6.2. The measure was approved by voice vote; the motion carried with no recorded opposition.

Why it matters: Mobile‑home residents testified that rent spikes can effectively devalue their property and force long‑standing residents, including seniors, from their homes. Speakers asked for a clear cap on resale increases, itemized monthly statements that list pass‑through charges, and multilingual notices to ensure equity for non‑English speakers.

What the ordinance includes (as described in public comment and staff presentation): council and public references cited a 3% rent‑increase cap (as a guiding limit mentioned repeatedly by residents), a 51% resident vote requirement on specified transfers, and a monthly billing statement requirement that would itemize rent, homeowner rent adjustments and additional monthly charges. The record presented at the meeting did not include the final text line‑by‑line in the public comment, so details pending final ordinance language should be referenced in the adopted code.

Next steps: Council approved the item on the consent calendar. Staff will implement the ordinance as written and oversee notifications and compliance steps; any technical changes or administrative clarifications will be reflected in future staff reports and the official ordinance as posted online.
