Griffith v. County of Santa Cruz

In Griffith v. County of Santa Cruz (2000) 79 Cal.App.4th 1318, the issue was whether a county could impose its rent control ordinance against a landlord who rented mobilehome units to tenants. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's finding that the Act was inapplicable and thus did not preempt the local ordinance, reasoning that the statutory scheme governed the construction and operation of mobilehome parks but did not regulate the rental of mobilehome units. (Id. at pp. 1322-1323.)
