Supervisors agreed to a moratorium on rent increases until Feb. 29, or until the board can agree on whether to amend the county's rent stabilization ordinance.
The current regulation allows owners to raise the rent by as much as 100 percent of the Consumer Price Index , or 6 percent of the rent, whichever is less. The CPI measures changes in prices and services over a 12-month period and is issued by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Michelle Whitman, executive director of the county's Community Development Commission, said many residents spend around 30 percent of their income on rent and moving a mobile home can be expensive, leaving residents few options in the face of a rent increase. One public commenter spoke against the proposal, saying it would be"devastating" to owners of mobile home parks, also called modular home parks.
