AB1128 — AB 1128 is introduced as a gut-and-amend measure building on prior mobile home rent stabilization efforts. The author explains that the bill originally sought statewide rent stabilization but was narrowed in committee to apply only to 10 mobile home parks in the City of Torrance. Supporters, including the Mobile Home Residents Coalition, argue the bill still provides affordable and predictable rent increases and benefits seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and working families, framing it as creating balance for vulnerable mobile home residents. The chair then moves to opposition, where witnesses note the bill’s Torrance-only scope, object to its effects, and urge a no vote. Opponents argue the measure would force Torrance to adopt rent control, destabilize the market, and does not help the housing crisis, with speakers ultimately stating they cannot support the bill.
AB1128 — Item number four on the agenda; the vote is reported as 7-4 with one not voting, and the bill is out.
