HCD
DEFINITIONS, STATE LAWS
AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO YOU
WHAT IS HCD?
HCD or the California Department of Housing and Community Development is a major state agency responsible for building codes, manufactured housing, and statewide housing policy.
Belmont Shores Estates and its residents are governed by the MRL Title 25 of the CCR and your signed Lease 1 2
PERMITS & ALTERATIONS
TITLE

Key
Definitions
The California Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) is a set of regulations governing the rights and responsibilities of mobilehome park residents and park management.
Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) governs the health, safety, & infrastructure aspects of the park (e.g., utilities, sheds, awnings, fences, accessory buildings etc.).
Your signed Lease (rental agreement) governs specific terms like rent amount, space usage, and specific park rules you’ve agreed to adhere to.
Homeowners need a permit from HCD and approval in writing from park management before any remodeling /installation to their home. Permits are issued for alterations of a mobile home’s structural, fire safety, electrical, plumbing and/or mechanical components. Homeowners are primarily responsible for correcting any violations concerning the home/space on which they reside, including any pre-existing code violations after the sale of the home.
PAINTING YOUR HOME
Use a licensed contractor or someone highly recommended. If your paint job does not meet quality standards, you may be obligated to have your home re-painted at your own expense.
Colors must be pre-approved by park management. If you should paint your home without park approval, you may be obligated to re-paint your home at your own expense.
Bring paint samples to the office for approval BEFORE painting your home. Acceptable colors range from neutral greys, whites, blacks and/or warm earth tones.
compliance with Park Rules and Regulations
Street parking is prohibited at all times except for short periods (10 minutes) for active loading and unloading. Parking of trucks larger than a pickup truck (motor homes, travel trailers, boats or campers) is not allowed in the Park. Any vehicle parked as to impede the passage of an emergency vehicle may be removed from the Park by
Weeds! Weeds! Weeds!

alteration, installations or construction on your home to make sure you are within compliance.

Residents may add additional occupants to their home with prior park approval. Please contact the office for our Additional Occupant Application form. Approved Additional Occupants, though allowed to live within our community, have no rights of tenancy.
We wanted to go over what’s permissible and what’s not as guest parking is limited within our community.
Please advise your family and friends to carpool as much as possible.
All our streets are considered fire lanes. We only allow street parking for 10 minutes max of active loading/unloading. However, there are homes in the park that are set back far enough that a vehicle may park while still remaining off the street. If your home is set up in such a manner, you are allowed to park there as long as your vehicle is facing with the flow of traffic, not on the street or a part of it hanging over onto the street.
Overnight parking in guest/visitor parking is ONLY permitted with Management Approval. Be sure to advise the office in advance by phone or email if you have guests staying with you that will be utilizing our parking lots for multiple days (we will also require their license plates to exclude them from tow lists and length of stay).
Residents may have their guests park in their driveways and park resident vehicles in guest parking instead (please advise the office).
Though we will do our best to work with everyone, any vehicle parked that impedes emergency vehicle access will be towed at vehicle owner’s expense.

Meters and Readers
Your meter charges on your bill are based on your usage. In order to have accurate readings, a meter reader visits the park between the 6th-11th of the month and will visit each home to check their meter. Your reads are always a month behind.
REMINDER
Per the Rules and Regulations Rule No. 7(G): No structures may be installed and no shrubbery may be planted which would obstruct the utility pedestals impeding the reading of the utility meter.
If you receive your bill and it states “NO READING” please contact the office for a revised bill. Just because it says “no reading” this month, does not mean you will no be billed for those reads. It will be added to your next months bill which will cause your charges to be higher.
Submit a Complaint about your Meter Online
If you have a concern about your meter reads and believe your meter may be malfunctioning, please visit the link below and fill out the form online. All complaints are investigated by the Los Angeles County Agricultural Commissioner Weights and Measures Department: Phone: 562-622-0402
