BACKGROUND:          Evans authored Assembly Bill (AB) 1542 this year to close a loophole in current law allowing mobile home park owners to subdivide and convert mobile home parks into condominiums, to avoid local rent control, and to potentially make huge profits in the process.  Vetoed by the Governor, this legislation would have provided local governments in jurisdictions with a local rent control ordinance the opportunity to review and approve applications to convert mobile home parks.
