in effect

Cal. Health and Safety Code - HSC § 18150. Section 18150.

The Legislature finds and declares that an increasing number of Californians live in manufactured homes and mobilehomes and that most of those manufactured home and mobilehome owners reside in mobilehome parks. Because of the growing number of problems and complaints dealing with various aspects of living in manufactured homes and mobilehomes, it is necessary to establish a Mobilehome Assistance Center within the Department of Housing and Community Development to better provide assistance to the public in handling and coordinating the resolution to those problems and complaints.

(c) The Mobilehome Assistance Center shall not arbitrate, mediate, negotiate, or provide legal advice on mobilehome park rent disputes, lease or rental agreements, or disputes arising from lease or rental agreements, but may provide information on these issues.
