Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation July 2 that prevents mobile home park management from removing homeowners’ vehicles required for work.

Previously, mobile home management could, after giving notice and allowing seven days, remove any vehicle from a homeowner’s driveway or designated space if it violated park rules. Senate Bill 1408 prevents such removal for vehicles needed for a resident’s job, except in emergencies or if the vehicle extends into the roadway or poses a risk to residents.
