Requires local governments to approve reconstruction of manufactured dwelling parks after wildfire natural disasters.

Amends definition of “manufactured dwelling park” to include parks with certain prefabricated structures. Defines “manufactured dwelling park” as any place where four or more manufactured dwellings or prefabricated structures are located within 500 feet of one another on a lot, tract or parcel of land under the same ownership, the primary purpose of which is to rent or lease space or keep space for rent or lease to any person for a charge or fee paid or to be paid for the rental or lease or use of facilities or to offer space free in connection with securing the trade or patronage of such person.

Authorizes local governments to rezone areas for manufactured dwelling parks where wildfires have created housing scarcity. Allows the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services to exempt those manufactured dwelling parks from certain building codes. [Sunsets January 2, 2026.]

If a manufactured dwelling park is affected by a natural disaster, the tenancy is immediately terminated and tenants are not obligated to their rental agreement anymore. The landlord must return any deposit and prepaid rent it received from the tenant after/that applies after the date of the natural disaster.

“Natural disaster” includes any disaster resulting in the declaration of a state of emergency for wildfires, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes or similar events, including disasters begun by negligent or intentional acts.
