Mobilehome rent stabilization

A River Bluff RV and Mobile Home Park resident said the park needs the ordinance against an aggressive landlord who has signaled it will pass improvement costs to tenants.

Speaking for the WMA and park owners, argued rent control always shrinks housing supply, cited Oregon's law pulling 6 percent of units from the market, and urged the board to consider alternatives.

Called it rent stabilization not rent control, questioned expecting renters to hire lawyers to enforce it, citing David Garst's $150,000 in legal costs, and thanked Supervisors Jones and former Supervisor Nolen.
