Infractions and Penalties [18058 - 18066.5] ( Article 3 added by Stats. 1981, Ch. 975, Sec. 3. ) ## 18062.8. It is unlawful for any manufacturer or distributor licensed under this part to do any of the following: (a) Refuse or fail to deliver, in reasonable quantities and within a reasonable time after receipt of an order from a dealer having a franchise for the retail sale of any new manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial coach sold or distributed by the manufacturer or distributor, any new manufactured home, mobilehome, or commercial coach or parts or accessories to new manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial coaches that are covered by the franchise, if the mobilehome or commercial coach, parts or accessories are publicly advertised as being available for delivery or actually being delivered. This subdivision is not violated, however, if the failure is caused by acts or causes beyond the control of the manufacturer or distributor. (b) Prevent or require or attempt to prevent or require, by contract or otherwise, any change in the capital structure of a dealership, if the dealer at all times meets any reasonable capital standards agreed to by the dealer and the manufacturer or distributor, and also provided that no change in capital structure shall cause a change in the principal management or have the effect of a sale of the franchise without the consent of the manufacturer or distributor. (c) Prevent or require, or attempt to prevent or require, a dealer to change the executive management of a dealership, other than the principal dealership operator or operators, if the franchise was granted the dealer in reliance upon the personal qualifications of that person or persons. (d) Prevent or require, or attempt to prevent or require, by contract or otherwise, any dealer, or any officer, partner, or stockholder of any dealership, to participate in the sale or transfer of any part of the interest of any of them to any other person or persons. No dealer, officer, partner, or stockholder shall, however, have the right to sell, transfer, or assign the franchise, or any right thereunder, without the consent of the manufacturer or distributor if the consent is not unreasonably withheld.

(g) Require a dealer to prospectively assent to a release, assignment, novation, waiver, or estoppel that would relieve any person from liability imposed by this part or to require any controversy between a dealer and a manufacturer or distributor to be referred to any person other than the department, if the referral would be binding on the dealer. This subdivision does not, however, prohibit arbitration before an independent arbitrator. (h) Increase the prices of manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial coaches that the dealer ordered for private retail consumers prior to the dealer’s receipt of the written official price increase notification.

Price reductions shall apply to all manufactured homes, mobilehomes, and commercial coaches in the dealer’s inventory that were subject to the price reduction. A price difference applicable to new model or series manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial coaches at the time of the introduction of new models or series shall not be considered a price increase or price decrease.

A manufacturer or distributor shall not authorize or enable any new model to be delivered by dealers at retail more than 30 days prior to the eligibility date of the model change allowance payment for prior year model manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial coaches. (j) Deny, to the surviving spouse or heirs designated by a deceased owner of a dealership, the opportunity to participate in the ownership of the dealership or successor dealership under a valid franchise for a reasonable time after the death of the owner. (k) Offer any refunds or other types of inducements to any dealer or other person for the purchase of new manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial coaches of a certain make and model to be sold to the state or any political subdivision of the state without making the same offer to all other dealers in the same make and model within the relevant market area. (l) Employ a person as a distributor who has not been licensed pursuant to this chapter. (m) Deny any dealer the right of free association with any other dealer for any lawful purpose. (n) Compete with a dealer in the same make and model operating under an agreement or franchise from a manufacturer or distributor in the relevant market area. A manufacturer or distributor shall not, however, be deemed to be competing when operating a dealership either temporarily for a reasonable period, or in a bona fide retail operation that is for sale to any qualified independent person at a fair and reasonable price, or in a bona fide relationship in which an independent person has made a significant investment subject to loss in the dealership and can reasonably expect to acquire full ownership of the dealership on reasonable terms and conditions. (o) Unfairly discriminate among its franchisees with respect to warranty reimbursement or authority granted its franchisees to make warranty adjustments with retail customers. (p) Sell manufactured homes, mobilehomes, or commercial coaches to persons not licensed under this part for resale, except as authorized pursuant to Section 18015.7 or 18062.9.

Manufactured Home Recovery Fund [18070 - 18070.7] ( Heading of Chapter 7.5 amended by Stats. 1992, Ch. 1206, Sec. 1. ) ## 18070. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The financial hardship endured by someone who is buying or selling a manufactured home for the purpose of using it for a primary residence is more profound than the hardship of someone who is selling or purchasing a manufactured home for investment purposes. (2) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter that any claims for primary residences submitted, pursuant to this chapter, by a claimant for payment from the fund shall be given priority over claims submitted for investment purposes. (3) The distinctions made in this chapter between claims made for personal residential purposes and claims made for investment purposes shall reflect the priorities set forth in this paragraph. (4) The costs of seeking and obtaining civil judgments and related collection efforts to support claims for compensation often exceed the ability of claimants and the amounts received. (5) The costs and efforts of public entities obtaining criminal or administrative restitution orders could provide further benefits if these orders could be used as the basis for compensation claims. (b) The following definitions shall apply for the purposes of this chapter: (1) “Actual and direct loss” includes the following: (A) The amount of the actual and direct loss, interest at the statutory rate from the date of loss, plus court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in pursuit of the judgment, not to exceed 25 percent of the amount of the judgment, if the claim is based on a judgment obtained by a private attorney or an attorney employed by a nonprofit corporation, and not to exceed 35 percent of the amount of the judgment if the claim is based on a judgment obtained by an attorney employed by a public agency. (B) The amount of the actual and direct loss, if the claim is not based on a judgment. However, the claimant may collect actual and reasonable costs incurred in pursuit of compensation including attorney’s fees not exceeding 15 percent of the amount of the claim and court costs, if any. “Actual and direct loss” does not include any punitive damages or damages awarded for negligent or intentional infliction of emotional distress. (2) “Claimant” does not include a person holding a lien on, or a person possessing a secondary interest in, a manufactured home. (3) “Conversion” means the unlawful appropriation of the property of another. (4) “Judgment” means any of the following: (A) A final judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction, other than a court in another state, including, but not limited to, a criminal restitution order issued pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 1202.4 of the Penal Code or Section 3663 of Title 18 of the United States Code. (B) An order of the director, including an order for restitution, based on an accusation filed pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 18058) of Chapter 7, after an opportunity for a hearing. (5) “Complaint” means the facts of the underlying transaction upon which the criminal restitution order or administrative order is based. (6) “Judgment debtor” means any defendant who is the subject of the criminal restitution order or civil judgment, any respondent who is the subject of an administrative accusation and order, or any person responsible for any violation upon which payment is made, as determined by the department. (c) There is hereby created in the State Treasury the Manufactured Home Recovery Fund. The money in the fund shall be used only for the purposes of this chapter, including payment of the department’s administrative costs incurred pursuant to this chapter. The department’s costs may include any investigative costs incurred under this chapter, costs incurred to render a decision pursuant to Section 18070.3, and costs incurred in defending a decision on appeal. (d) The moneys in the fund may be invested pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 16430) of Part 2 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. All income derived from investments of the fund shall be returned to the fund by the Treasurer as the income is earned. (e) Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, the moneys in the fund are hereby continuously appropriated to make the payments and distributions required by this chapter.

A person who has received payment from the fund for the purchase or sale of a manufactured home for an investment purpose shall henceforth be ineligible to make a claim under this chapter, either as a natural person or as a member of a partnership, as an officer or director of a corporation, as a member of a marital community, or in any other capacity. (d) Prior to payment of any claim against the fund, the claimant or claimants shall have first: (1) If the claim is based on a final judgment, diligently pursued collection efforts against all the assets of the judgment debtor, or presented evidence satisfactory to the department that the debtor is judgment proof, or demonstrated evidence satisfactory to the department that the costs of collection are likely to be in excess of the amounts that could be collected. This evidence may include, but is not limited to, a description of the searches and inquiries conducted by or on behalf of the claimant with respect to the judgment debtor’s assets liable to be sold or applied to the satisfaction of the judgment, an itemized valuation of the assets discovered, and the results of actions by the claimant to have assets applied to satisfy the judgment. (2) If the claim is not based on a final judgment, presented evidence satisfactory to the department of either of the following: (A) That the person or entity is or has been the subject of bankruptcy proceedings and, for purposes of any civil litigation or claims in bankruptcy proceedings, has assigned to the department any interest in the actual and direct loss described in subdivision (c) in the amount that the claimant or claimants recover from the fund. (B) That the claimant’s claim is consistent with this chapter and the claimant had presented evidence satisfactory to the department that the debtor is judgment proof, or demonstrated evidence satisfactory to the department that the costs of collection are likely to be in excess of the amounts that could be collected. This evidence may include, but not be limited to, a description of searches and inquiries conducted by or on behalf of the claimant with respect to the judgment debtor’s assets eligible to be sold or applied to the satisfaction of the judgment, an itemized valuation of the assets discovered, and the results of actions by the claimant to have the assets applied to satisfaction of the judgment. (3) If the claim is based upon a violation of a provision within a warranty provided pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 1797) of Title 1.7 of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code, demonstrated evidence satisfactory to the department that the claimant has been denied full compensation or correction under the warranty after the claimant has attempted to exercise his or her rights pursuant to the warranty. (e) A claim against the fund shall be filed with the department within the following time periods: (1) If the claim is based on a final judgment, within two years from the date of the judgment. (2) If the claim is not based on a final judgment, within two years from the termination of bankruptcy proceedings or two years from the date of sale as determined by subdivision (a) of Section 18070.2, or within two years of discovery of the violations causing actual and direct losses pursuant to this article but no longer than five years after the date of sale as determined by subdivision (a) of Section 18070.2, whichever event occurs later. (f) When any person files a claim for an order directing payment from the fund, the claimant shall mail, by first-class mail, a copy of that claim to the last known address of the judgment debtor. The department shall conduct a review of the application and other pertinent information in its possession, and it may issue an order directing payment out of the fund as provided in subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, subject to the limitations of subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, if the claimant or claimants show all of the following: (1) That he or she is not a spouse of the judgment debtor, the bankrupt person or entity, or a person representing the spouse. (2) That he or she is making an application within the time specified in subdivision (e). (3) That the claimant has satisfied the applicable requirements of subdivision (d). (4) That, if the claimant is a seller of a manufactured home used by the seller for personal, family, or household purposes, the claimant made a good faith effort to adequately secure the debt resulting from the sale of the manufactured home and with respect to which the claim is made. For purposes of this paragraph, a good faith effort to secure the debt may be demonstrated by, but shall not be limited to, providing the department with a promissory note signed by the debtor and which, pursuant to the terms thereof, is secured by collateral with a reasonable value at least equal to the debt evidenced by the promissory note. (g) Upon an order of the department directing that payment be made out of the fund, the Controller is authorized to draw a warrant for the payment of the amount of the claim approved by the department pursuant to this section. (h) In dispersing moneys from the fund, the department is authorized to give priority to claimants who have attempted to purchase or sell a manufactured home for a personal or family residential purpose. (i) All claims to the fund that are received on or after January 1, 1993, shall be processed, and a determination made, within one year of submission of a properly completed application. (j) The department, upon request by a Member of the Legislature, shall provide the following information: the number of claims to the fund, number of claims processed and decided within one year of their application date and submission of a properly completed application, the amount of fund money paid to claimants, and the amount of fund money allocated for the department’s costs.

General Definitions and Requirements [18080 - 18084.7] ( Article 2 added by Stats. 1981, Ch. 975, Sec. 3. ) ## 18080.9. (a) An owner of a mobilehome park who obtains a final money judgment for unpaid rent against the registered owner of a manufactured home or mobilehome registered with the department may, subject to subdivision (b), perfect a lien against the manufactured home or mobilehome pursuant to Section 18080.7 by filing a form prescribed by the department. The priority of the lien shall be determined in accordance with Article 3 (commencing with Section 18085) and Article 4 (commencing with Section 18098). For purposes of a sale conducted pursuant to Section 18037.5, an owner of a mobilehome park filing a lien pursuant to this section shall be treated as a junior lienholder. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the department shall accept, for the purposes of the perfection of a lien pursuant to this section, a certified copy of either the final money judgment or an abstract of the final money judgment in lieu of the certificate of title, registration card, or signatures otherwise required by subdivision (a) of Section 18080.7. (c) Upon satisfaction of the final money judgment, a lien perfected pursuant to this section shall be released in accordance with Section 18100.5. (d) A lien created pursuant to this section shall not be subject to execution pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 699.010) of Division 2 of Title 9 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure or in any other manner. (e) If the final money judgment for unpaid rent against a registered owner covers any portion of the period for which a legal owner or junior lienholder is required to pay past due obligations of the registered owner pursuant to Section 798.56a of the Civil Code, the amount of the lien created by this section shall be reduced by the amount required to be paid by the legal owner or junior lienholder pursuant to Section 798.56a of the Civil Code. (f) A surrender of ownership interest by the registered owner of a mobilehome or manufactured home to the legal owner shall operate as a matter of law to divest the registered owner of any claim to possession or title to the mobilehome or manufactured home and shall be effective upon acceptance of that surrender by the legal owner. Any judgment lien filed pursuant to this section on a mobilehome or manufactured home that is thereafter surrendered to the legal owner shall be extinguished by any of the following: (1) If the proceeds of the sale of the surrendered mobilehome or manufactured home by the legal owner to a third party after the surrender is effective are not sufficient to satisfy the amount due to the legal owner by the registered owner under a security agreement, promissory note, or other debt instrument secured by the mobilehome or manufactured home. (2) If the proceeds of the sale of the surrendered mobilehome or manufactured home by the legal owner to a third party after the surrender is effective are sufficient to satisfy the amount due the legal owner by the registered owner under a security agreement, promissory note, or other debt instrument secured by the mobilehome or manufactured home, but there are no surplus funds available for payment to the junior lienholder. (3) Upon payment of any surplus proceeds owed to the junior lienholder if the proceeds of the sale of the surrendered mobilehome or manufactured home by the legal owner to a third party after the surrender is effective exceed the amount due to the legal owner from the registered owner under the security agreement, promissory note, or other debt instrument secured by the mobilehome or manufactured home. (g) The completion of a foreclosure on a mobilehome or manufactured home pursuant to Section 18037.5 shall divest the registered owner of title to the mobilehome or manufactured home by operation of law. The foreclosure shall (A) make any judgment lien created pursuant to this section invalid and unenforceable, and (B) extinguish and bar any levy upon a judgment lien perfected pursuant to this section. Except to the extent that surplus proceeds from the foreclosure sale were paid to the judgment creditor under the judgment lien perfected pursuant to this section, nothing in this subdivision shall be deemed to extinguish, satisfy, or reduce in any way the final money judgment owed by the former registered owner for unpaid rent. (h) If the money judgment has been satisfied and the judgment creditor fails without just cause to comply with Section 18100.5 within 20 days from the date the judgment creditor’s lien is satisfied, the judgment creditor is liable for all damages sustained by reason of that failure and shall also forfeit one hundred dollars ($100) to the person who sustained those damages. In any action to enforce this provision, the court shall award reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party. Where the prevailing party is someone other than the judgment creditor, the court shall order the department to remove the lien from the manufactured home or mobilehome record. A copy of the court order may be submitted to the department as evidence that the judgment creditor’s lien has been satisfied. (Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 124, Sec. 57. Effective January 1, 1997.)

(a) If the title or interest of a registered owner, legal owner, junior lienholder in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, or truck camper, or floating home for which an original registration under this part has been obtained is transferred to another person, or, if all outstanding secured obligations previously held by a legal owner registered on the original or a subsequent registration or by a junior lienholder are satisfied and the person no longer has any obligation to extend credit, incur obligations, or otherwise give value to be secured by the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, or, if a security interest is taken in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home after the permanent title record has been established, the department shall be notified within 20 days and shall act as follows: (1) If the title or interest of a registered owner or legal owner is being transferred, the transferor and the transferee of the title or interest shall execute in the manner prescribed by the department the certificate of title for the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home. If the transfer is made by a registered owner and the transferee is to assume the underlying indebtedness secured by the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home and owed to a legal owner, the legal owner shall state on the certificate of title that legal title and interest are to be retained. The certificate of title along with all other supporting documents shall be fowarded to the department with appropriate fees. The department shall appropriately amend the permanent title record of the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, forward a new certificate of title reflecting the change to the permanent title record to the legal owner by first-class mail, and forward an amended registration card reflecting the change to the permanent title record to the registered owner with copies to all secured parties shown on the permanent title record. If there is no legal owner, the new certificate of title and amended registration card shall be forwarded to the registered owner. (2) If the interest of a junior lienholder is being transferred, the transferor and the transferee shall execute in a manner prescribed by the department the registration card, and the card so executed shall be forwarded to the department with appropriate fees. The department shall appropriately amend the permanent title record and forward an amended registration card reflecting the change to the permanent title record to the registered owner with copies to all secured parties shown on the permanent title record. (3) If a creditor acquires a security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home after the permanent title record has been established, the department shall amend the permanent title record to reflect the interest as that of a legal owner or as that of a junior lienholder, as appropriate. If the permanent title record already reflects the interest of one or more junior lienholders, the creditor then perfecting its interest pursuant to this section shall be designated as the most junior lienholder. (4) If a legal owner no longer holds an outstanding obligation or a commitment to make advances, incur obligations, or otherwise give value to be secured by the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, or truck camper, or floating home, the legal owner shall indicate its release of lien by appropriately signing the certificate of title for the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home and forward the certificate of title to the department with appropriate fees. The department shall appropriately amend the permanent title record for the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, deliver a new certificate of title reflecting the change to the permanent title record to the new legal owner, if any, by first-class mail, and forward an amended registration card reflecting the change to the permanent title record to the registered owner with copies to all secured parties shown on the registration card. For purposes of this paragraph, the following person shall be designated as the new legal owner: (A) The junior lienholder, if any. (B) If there is more than one junior lienholder, the junior lienholder whose statement of lien was designated as the most senior junior lienholder on the permanent title record shall be the legal owner. (5) If a junior lienholder no longer holds an outstanding obligation or a commitment to make advances, incur obligations, or otherwise give value to be secured by the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, the junior lienholder shall forward the properly executed and released junior lienholder registration card to the department with appropriate fees. The department shall appropriately amend the permanent title record for the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home and forward an amended registration card reflecting the change to the permanent title record to the registered owner with copies to all secured parties shown on the permanent title record.

(B) On issuing any duplicate, substitute, or new certificate of title, registration card, or copy of a registration card regarding the manufactured home, mobilehome, or floating home. (C) On subsequent notices of escrow openings. (2) The department shall, upon receipt of the notice of escrow and the appropriate fee, forward to the escrow agent an acknowledgment of receipt and a true and correct copy of the permanent title record as of the commencement of the period of moratorium. (c) If a secured party fails to comply with the provisions of subdivision (a) relating to releases of lien and the secured party thereafter receives a written demand from the registered owner that the secured party release its lien, the secured party shall be liable to the registered owner for all actual damages suffered by the registered owner by reason of the failure to release the lien unless the secured party, within 20 days of receipt of the demand, complies with the requirements of subdivision (a), except where the secured party has reasonable cause for noncompliance. (d) Whenever the title or interest of the registered owner or legal owner in or to a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home registered under this part passes to another in a manner other than by voluntary transfer, the new registered owner or legal owner may obtain a transfer of registration upon application therefor and upon presentation of the last certificate of title, if available, and current registration card, if available, issued for the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home and any instruments or documents of authority or certified copies thereof as may be required by the department, or required by law, to evidence or effect the transfer of title or interest in that case. The department, when satisfied of the genuineness and regularity of the transfer, shall amend the permanent title record of the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, issue a new current registration card and certificate of title, and forward copies of the current registration card to all junior lienholders. (e) The department shall not transfer registration until the applicant complies with the requirements of Section 18092.7. (Amended by Stats. 1990, Ch. 765, Sec. 9.)

(a) On death of the owner of a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home owned in beneficiary form, the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home belongs to the surviving beneficiary, if any. If there is no surviving beneficiary, the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home belongs to the estate of the deceased owner. (b) Ownership registration and title issued in beneficiary form may be revoked or the beneficiary changed at any time before the death of the owner by either of the following methods: (1) By sale of the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, with proper assignment and delivery of the certificate of title to another person. (2) By application for a change in registered owner without designation of a beneficiary or with the designation of a different beneficiary. (c) Except as provided in subdivision (b), designation of a beneficiary in ownership registration and title issued in beneficiary form may not be changed or revoked by will, by any other instrument, by a change of circumstances, or otherwise. (d) The beneficiary’s interest in the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home at death of the owner is subject to any contract of sale, assignment, or security interest to which the owner was subject during his or her lifetime.

(3) If required by the department, a certificate of the death of the owner. (f) After the death of the owner, the surviving beneficiary may transfer his or her interest in the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home to another person without securing transfer of ownership into his or her own name by appropriately signing the certificate of title for the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home and delivering the document to the transferee for forwarding to the department with appropriate fees.

(g) A transfer at death pursuant to this section is effective by reason of this section and shall not be deemed to be a testamentary disposition of property. The right of the designated beneficiary to the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home shall not be denied, abridged, or affected on the grounds that the right has not been created by a writing executed in accordance with the laws of this state prescribing the requirements to effect a valid testamentary disposition of property. (h) A transfer at death pursuant to this section is subject to Section 9653 of the Probate Code. (i) If there is no surviving beneficiary, the person or persons described in Section 18102 may secure transfer of the manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home, as provided in that section.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e) or (g), the security interest of the legal owner has priority over conflicting security interests of junior lienholders and holders of security interests perfected pursuant to Sections 9306 and 9313 of the Commercial Code and of unperfected security interests in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part and its proceeds. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e) or (g), the security interest of a junior lienholder has priority over conflicting security interests of holders of security interests perfected pursuant to Section 9313 of the Commercial Code and of unperfected security interests in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part and its proceeds. Conflicting security interests of junior lienholders rank in the order designated on the permanent title record maintained by the department.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (e) or (g), conflicting unperfected security interests in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part and its proceeds rank according to priority in time of attachment. (e) (1) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (g), the security interest of any secured party shall not have priority over any security interest of a party having a subordinate security interest by virtue of the preceding provisions of this section to the extent that the otherwise senior secured obligation was incurred subsequent to receipt by that creditor of actual or constructive notice of the existence of the otherwise junior security interest unless the obligation arose pursuant to the terms of a security agreement for the purpose of preserving the collateral or protecting the interest of the senior secured party therein or unless the otherwise senior secured obligation was incurred under a binding agreement that the credit would be extended by that creditor. (2) For purposes of this subdivision receipt of a copy of the registration certificate which reflects the existence of a security interest shall constitute constructive notice of the existence of the security interest. In interpreting the provisions of this subdivision but for no other purposes, it is the intent of the Legislature that the priorities among conflicting security interests be determined in accordance with the rules of law applicable to priority as to interests in real property. (f) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (g), the security interest of the legal owner or a junior lienholder has priority over a conflicting security interest of a holder of a perfected security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part which is inventory, including the proceeds of the inventory. The rules of priority regarding conflicting security interests of holders of a perfected security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part which is inventory and of holders of security interests perfected pursuant to Sections 9306 and 9313 of the Commercial Code or unperfected security interests in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part shall be governed by Sections 9322, 9323, 9324, and 9325 of the Commercial Code. (g) If the holders of two or more of the several security interests shall otherwise agree among themselves, the relative priorities among the holders of security interests who have so agreed shall be determined according to this agreement.

(b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), an unperfected security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home subject to registration under this part is subordinate to the rights of a person who becomes a lien creditor before the security interest is perfected. (c) If a security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home becomes perfected as contemplated by subdivision (a) of Section 18080.7, the security interest is senior to the rights of a lien creditor which arise between the time the security interest attaches and the time of perfection. (d) A person who becomes a lien creditor while a security interest in a manufactured home, mobilehome, commercial coach, truck camper, or floating home is perfected by any of the means contemplated by subdivision (b) of Section 18080.7 takes subject to the perfected security interest only to the extent that it secures advances either made before that person becomes a lien creditor or made thereafter which would otherwise be senior to a competing security interest as provided in subdivision (e) of Section 18105.

Fees and Taxes [18114 - 18119] ( Article 6 added by Stats. 1981, Ch. 975, Sec. 3. ) ## 18116.2. (a) If the lien in favor of the State of California in the amount owing as provided by Section 18116.1 is against a commercial coach, and that lien has not been satisfied for a period of one year from the date the commercial coach became subject to the lien, the department may collect the amount of the lien on the commercial coach plus costs not to exceed four hundred fifty dollars ($450) by appropriate civil action or by seizure and sale of the commercial coach and its contents on which the lien has been placed or by seizure and sale of any other commercial coach owned by the owner of the commercial coach on which the lien has been placed. (b) At least 10 days before the seizure, notice of the lien and of the intent to seize and sell the commercial coach and its contents shall be given by the department to the registered owner and legal owners, and any other persons known to be claiming an interest in the commercial coach or its contents, by registered mail addressed to those persons at the last known address appearing on the department’s records. (c) Any person receiving the notice of the lien and the intent to seize and sell the commercial coach and its contents may request a hearing to contest the existence or the amount of the lien. If no hearing is requested, the commercial coach and its contents shall be seized and sold. (d) If a hearing is requested, a 10-day notice shall be given of the time and place of the hearing, which shall be held within the county of residence of the person requesting the hearing or of the registered owner. The hearing shall be conducted by a referee, who shall submit findings and recommendations to the director of the department or the director’s authorized representative, who shall decide the matter. The decision shall be effective on notice thereof to the interested parties. (e) At any time before seizure or sale, any registered owner, legal owner or person claiming an interest in the commercial coach or its contents may pay the department the amount of the lien, plus costs. In that event, the seizure and sale shall not be held and the commercial coach and its contents, if seized, shall be returned by the department to the person entitled to its possession. This payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to a hearing. (f) When the department or an authorized agent has reasonable cause to believe that the lien may be jeopardized within the 10-day notice of intent period, the commercial coach and its contents may be seized without prior notice to the registered owner or legal owner, upon obtaining authorization for the seizure from the director of the department or the director’s authorized representative. In those cases, a notice of the lien and the intent to sell the commercial coach and its contents shall be given by the department to the registered and legal owners and anyone known to be claiming an interest in the commercial coach or its contents, within 48 hours after seizure, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and the holidays specified in Section 6700 of the Government Code. Any hearing to contest the lien and the seizure shall be requested within 10 days of the date that notice was placed in the United States mail. (g) When a lien exists against one or more commercial coaches owned by the same person, persons, or company, the department may seize and sell a sufficient number of commercial coaches to satisfy the lien plus costs, in accordance with subdivision (a). (h) Any state, municipality, or county law enforcement agency may assist with the seizure and impounding of the commercial coach. (i) The department shall make a physical inventory of all the contents of a commercial coach that has been seized within 24 hours of the time of seizure. Copies of the inventory of contents shall be made available to any one rightfully entitled to that information. (j) After deducting from the proceeds of sale, any amount due to satisfy the lien in favor of the state and the cost of the seizure and sale, any excess proceeds of sale shall be deposited in a special account. The registered owner, legal owner, or anyone claiming an interest in the mobilehome or its contents may file a claim to share in the excess proceeds of sale within one year from the date of sale. If any excess proceeds of sale remain in this special account after one year from the date of sale that money shall be transferred to the Mobilehome-Manufactured Home Revolving Fund.

(e) (1) Any city, city and county, or county may cancel its assumption of responsibility for the enforcement of both this part and Part 2.3 (commencing with Section 18860) by providing written notice of the cancellation to the department. The department shall assume responsibility within 90 days after receipt of the notice. (2) Any local enforcement agency that relinquishes enforcement authority to the department shall remit to the department any fees collected pursuant to Section 18502 that have not been expended for purposes of this part, except that, for fees collected pursuant to subdivision (c) of that section, the local enforcement agency shall pay to the department a sum that is equal to the percentage of the year remaining before outstanding permits to operate expire.

(2) From regulating the construction and use of equipment and facilities located outside of a manufactured home or mobilehome used to supply gas, water, or electricity thereto, except facilities owned, operated, and maintained by a public utility, or to dispose of sewage or other waste therefrom when the facilities are located outside a park for which a permit is required by this part or the regulations adopted pursuant thereto. (3) From requiring a permit to use a manufactured home or mobilehome outside a park for which a permit is required by this part or by regulations adopted pursuant thereto, and require a fee therefor by local ordinance commensurate with the cost of enforcing this part and local ordinance with reference to the use of manufactured homes and mobilehomes, which permit may be refused or revoked if the use violates this part or Part 2 (commencing with Section 18000), any regulations adopted pursuant thereto, or any local ordinance applicable to that use. (4) From requiring a local building permit to construct an accessory structure for a manufactured home or mobilehome when the manufactured home or mobilehome is located outside a mobilehome park, under circumstances when this part or Part 2 (commencing with Section 18000) and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto do not require the issuance of a permit therefor by the department.

MOBILEHOME PARKS ACT [18200 - 18712] ( Part 2.1 added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 1056. ) ## CHAPTER 3. Enforcement, Actions and Proceedings [18400 - 18407] ( Chapter 3 added by Stats. 1967, Ch. 1056. ) ## 18400.1. (a) In accordance with subdivision (b), the enforcement agency shall enter and inspect mobilehome parks, as required under this part, with a goal of inspecting at least 5 percent of the parks per year, to ensure enforcement of this part and the regulations adopted pursuant to this part. The enforcement agency’s inspection shall include an inspection of the exterior portions of individual manufactured homes and mobilehomes in each park inspected. Any notices of violation of this part shall be issued pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 18420). (b) In developing its mobilehome park maintenance inspection program, the enforcement agency shall inspect the mobilehome parks that the enforcement agency determines have complaints that have been made to the enforcement agency regarding serious health and safety violations in the park. A single complaint of a serious health and safety violation shall not automatically trigger an inspection of the entire park unless upon investigation of that single complaint the enforcement agency determines that there is a violation and that an inspection of the entire park is necessary. (c) This part does not allow the enforcement agency to issue a notice for a violation of existing laws or regulations that were not violations of the laws or regulations at the time the mobilehome park received its original permit to operate, or the standards governing any subsequent permit to construct, or at the time the manufactured home or mobilehome received its original installation permit, unless the enforcement agency determines that a condition of the park, manufactured home, or mobilehome endangers the life, limb, health, or safety of the public or occupants thereof. (d) Not less than 30 days prior to the inspection of a mobilehome park under this section, the enforcement agency shall provide individual written notice of the inspection to the registered owners of the manufactured homes or mobilehomes, with a copy of the notice to the occupants thereof, if different than the registered owners, and to the owner or operator of the mobilehome park and the responsible person, as defined in Section 18603. (e) At the sole discretion of the enforcement agency’s inspector, a representative of either the park operator or the mobilehome owners may accompany the inspector during the inspection if that request is made to the enforcement agency or the inspector requests a representative to accompany them. If either party requests permission to accompany the inspector or is requested by the inspector to accompany them, the other party shall also be given the opportunity, with reasonable notice, to accompany the inspector. Only one representative of the park owner and one representative of the mobilehome owners in the park may accompany the inspector at any one time during the inspection. If more than one representative of the mobilehome owners in the park requests permission to accompany the inspector, the enforcement agency may adopt procedures for choosing that representative. (f) The enforcement agency shall coordinate a preinspection orientation for mobilehome owners and mobilehome park operators with the use of an audiovisual presentation furnished by the department to affected local enforcement agencies. Enforcement agencies shall furnish the audiovisual presentation to park operators and mobilehome owner representatives in each park subject to inspection not less than 30 days prior to the inspection. Additionally, it is the Legislature’s intent that the department shall, where practicable, conduct live presentations, forums, and outreach programs throughout the state to orient mobilehome owners and park operators on the mobilehome park maintenance inspection program and their rights and obligations under the program. (g) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2030, and as of that date is repealed. (Amended by Stats. 2024, Ch. 387, Sec. 1. (AB 2247) Effective January 1, 2025.
