Summary

The bill requires a homeowner to give a written 30‑day notice before filing a lawsuit against a mobilehome park for failure to maintain or reduce service to a physical improvement in common areas. If the alleged improvement does not exist in the park or is not under the park’s control, the manager can move to dismiss the case with prejudice and recover reasonable attorney’s fees plus a $5,000 civil penalty from the filing attorney. Personal‑injury and wrongful‑death actions are excluded.
