Residents allege illegal rent notice practices at Palm Springs mobile home park

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - Homeowners at a Palm Springs mobile home park claim management violated local rent control laws by failing to properly notify residents of a 2026 rent increase.

Residents at Palm Springs View Estates say required written notices were not mailed in October 2025, which would have allowed the increase to take effect February 1, 2026. Instead, management allegedly attempted in January to deliver backdated notices by clipping them to or placing them in mailboxes—actions homeowners say are illegal and invalid.

Residents argue that under California Mobile Home Residency Law and the city’s Rent Control Ordinance, notices must be mailed and require a full 90-day notice period. Homeowners fear management may attempt to enforce the increase anyway, potentially resulting in unlawful late fees.

Residents are calling for the notices to be reissued legally, restarting the required notice period.
