AB 2845

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law provides that in any action arising out of the Mobilehome Residency Law, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs, and defines a prevailing party for these purposes. This bill would instead provide that a resident who is the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs and, if management is the prevailing party, would require a court to award reasonable attorney's fees and costs only if the resident's action or defense is frivolous. The bill would delete the provision defining a prevailing party.
