Supreme Court Rules on MRL

The Supreme Court of California determined in January that the state Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL), codified at Civ. Code, ' 798 <i>et seq.</i>, does not preempt local rent control ordinances that allow mobilehome park owners to separately charge park residents for property taxes imposed on park land. <i>Cacho v. Boudreau</i>, 40 Cal.4th 341 (Cal.,1/11/2007) (Kennard, J.).
