REQUIREMENTS ON DEPARTURE OF RESIDENT

13.01

Upon the passing or permanent departure of the last resident of the household who is 55years of age or more, the requirements under this rule and regulation shall become applicable and remain in effect until the inception date of a succeeding tenancy approved by park management (as reflected by mutual execution of a new rental agreement for the homesite). In such event:

a. Pre-existing residents of the departing resident, and in the case of death of the resident, who are heir(s) or personal representatives of the deceased resident, may continue to physically occupy the mobilehome for a "grace period" of a maximum of six (6) months while making "best efforts" (as defined below) to sell the mobilehome to a third party. If the mobilehome is not sold by the end of the 6 month period, management may be requested to allow, for good cause shown, up to two (2) additional 90 day extensions in order to sell the mobilehome without legal action and without prejudice to a legal action for restitution of the premises. Additional reasonable efforts by such residents must by then have been made to produce a sale, such as by reducing the price sought for the mobilehome. After the expiration of such grace period(s), residents may continue to offer the mobilehome for sale but must have physically and permanently vacated the mobilehome and surrendered possession of the homesite to the management. The rights granted under this paragraph, for occupation and sale of the mobilehome are expressly conditioned on the performance of each of the following terms;

i. All of the previous resident’s responsibilities and liabilities to the management regarding rent, utilities, and other charges of the tenancy are timely paid on the first of the month in advance as they accrue. Civil Code 798.78 shall apply in the event of decease. However, payment by such residents shall be construed as a "storage charge" (to maintain the right of sale of the mobilehome on the homesite as defined below) or rent on behalf of the estate (and not rent from the hold over occupants) because a tenancy cannot be established with such residents due to inability to comply with 55 year age requirement;

ii. The mobilehome and the homesite are reasonably maintained pursuant to the rental agreement including the rules and regulations.

iii. No prospective resident shall take possession of the mobilehome except after approval by the management of the new purchaser, in writing and after close of escrow. Failure to comply shall entitle management to declare termination and breach and seek all remedies. Prospective resident is required to become the registered owner of the mobilehome.

iv. Payment made pursuant to this rule and regulation is a "storage charge" and solely compensation for storage and right to maintain the ability to sell the mobilehome on the homesite, month to month, and shall under no circumstances be construed as rent or evidence of the intention, agreement, or acquiescence to the establishment or renewal of a mobilehome tenancy; no mobilehome tenancy is created by receipt of monies by management, nor shall such receipt affect any demand, suit or claim. Increases in such storage charges may be made in accordance with the park schedule for rent adjustments.

v. "Best efforts" must be used to sell the mobilehome. Such occupying residents or heir(s) or representative(s) shall at all times during this agreement; maintain an active listing agreement with a licensed real estate broker or dealer of choice to offer the mobilehome for sale; maintain the mobilehome, exterior and interior, in neat and clean retail saleable condition and appearance; cooperate with the listing agent(s); and, negotiate in good faith for the sale of the mobilehome.

vi. In the event of any breach or default, Management may pursue all rights under law, including public sale of the mobilehome.

ARTICLE XIV

CIVIL CODE NOTICE

14.01

The following notice is provided for the information of the resident and resident, and is required to be provided for residential rental agreements. For the convenience of mobilehome owners, this notice is also included herein. "The California Department of Justice, sheriff’s departments, police departments serving jurisdictions of 200,000 or more and many other local law enforcement authorities maintain for public access a data base of the locations of persons required to register pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of 290.4 of the Penal Code. The data base is updated on a quarterly basis and a source of information about the presence of these individuals in any neighborhood. The Department of Justice also maintains a Sex Offender Identification Line through which inquiries about individuals may be made. This is a "900" telephone service. Callers must have specific information about individuals they are checking. Information regarding neighborhoods is not available through the "900" telephone service." The law further provides that based on this notification, the lessor (owner and management), seller, or broker is not required to provide information in addition to that contained in the notice regarding the proximity of registered sex offenders; the information in the notice shall be deemed to be adequate to inform the lessee or transferee about the existence of a statewide data base of the locations of registered sex offenders and information from the data base regarding those locations. The information in the notice shall not give rise to any cause of action against the disclosing party by a registered sex offender. PLEASE NOTE: Owner and management are permitted to investigate the ability of the prospective resident to pay rent and to comply with the rules and regulations of the Community pursuant to Civil Code 798.74. Residents and residents are therefore encouraged to further investigate in this regard to the extent deemed necessary and appropriate.

4. Keeping or maintaining any furniture, furnishings, appliances, equipment, or anything else of any kind outside of the mobilehome;

17.08 The park was purchased by a non-profit corporation and financed with tax-exempt bonds and other governmental assistance. One of the Park’s obligations is to provide evidence of continuing qualification for property tax exemption and other cost saving programs. Therefore, in the mutual interest of management and all residents, the following certifications will be conducted annually. Cooperation from each resident is mandatory.

1. All residents must provide Park Management with a completed Income Certification Form, which will confirm personal income and other demographic information. Each certification form must be returned within 7 days of receipt. Income Certifications shall not be unnecessarily disclosed to any third parties, i.e. to persons who are not employees or agents of the non-profit owner, unless required by Court order or other authority or legal obligation. Such certification will be needed annually.

2. All residents must provide Park Management with an Owner Occupancy Certification Form. The resident shall certify that they are the legal owner of the

home and occupy the home as their permanent residence. The non-profit wants the Park to display a "pride of ownership" which can only be obtained if the homes in the Park are owner occupied.

The summaries and analyses of income certifications will be compiled and used in preparing tax exemption applications and applications for other cost saving programs. Management has relied on the Income Certification supplied by residents in determining qualification for occupancy; and material misstatement in the certification (whether or not intentional) may be cause for immediate termination. Failure to cooperate with the annual recertification process will also provide grounds for termination.

17.09 The resident herein covenants by and for the resident and resident’s heirs, personal representatives and assigns and all persons claiming under the resident or through the resident that these rules are made subject to the condition that there shall be no discrimination against or segregation of any person or of a group of persons on account of race, color, religion, creed, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, ancestry or national origin in the leasing, subleasing, transferring, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the land herein leased nor shall the resident or any person claiming under or through the resident establish or permit any such practice or practices of discrimination or segregation with reference to the selection, location, number, use or occupancy of tenants, lessees, sublessees, subtenants, or vendees in the land herein leases.

GUESTS

18.01 For any guest who stays with resident more than a total of twenty (20) consecutive days or a total of thirty (30) days in a calendar year (hereinafter "grace period"), resident may be charged: (i) a guest charge of Ten-dollars ($10.00) per day, per guest, each day following the expiration of such grace period; (ii) or a monthly guest charge of $300.00 per month, per guest following the expiration of such grace period. Management may use either one of the foregoing calculation methods separately or apply them together. Payment is due and owing on the first of the month for charges then accrued to date (together with payment of the monthly rent and as further rent) following the expiration of the grace period, and on each first day of the month thereafter, while applicable. Management may charge the monthly guest fee one month in advance in addition to any accrued balance due.

18.02 No such charge will be imposed if the Guest is an immediate family member of resident (as set forth in Civil Code Section 798.35) or if the Guest is sharing resident’s mobilehome pursuant to Civil Code Section 798.34. If resident fails to pay a billed guest charge, demand to cure the default may be made by a combined or separate three day notice to pay the demanded amount and sixty day notice to quit and remove the mobilehome from the premises as permitted by the Mobilehome Residency Law (Civil Code Section 798.55). This provision shall also be construed as a covenant of tenancy or amendment to the rental agreement. The amount of the guest charges may be increased on 90 days advance written notice.

18.03 Before any additional person (other than the ones listed on the last page of resident’s rental agreement) may stay longer than the grace period and/or is permitted to reside with resident, resident must insure that such person comply with the following: (1) register with park Management; (2) execute all other documents then required by Management. However, no such person or registered guest will have any rights of tenancy in the Park.

18.04 Resident agrees to acquaint all guests with the terms, covenants and conditions of tenancy, including, but not limited to, the Park’s Rules and Regulations. Resident is personally responsible for all the actions and conduct of Resident’s guests as though such actions or omissions were the personal conduct of the Resident.

18.05 Management reserves the right to determine whether the Park’s recreational and other facilities can accommodate all the residents and their guests; therefore, Management may refuse any guest access to said facilities if the guest’s presence would unreasonably detract from the use and enjoyment of these facilities by other residents and guests who are then using the facilities.

18.06 A guest is permitted to use the recreational facilities only while accompanied by a Resident. No guest may use any common area facility, service or amenity or be present in any common area without accompaniment of a resident of the park at all times.

18.07 If resident will not be present or reside at the homesite, then no guests may occupy or otherwise use resident’s mobilehome without Management’s consent.

18.08 A guest who remains in the Park after his host has died, moved, or for any other reason does not physically reside in the Community on a regular basis, will be considered to be the equivalent of a buyer and the guest will be subject to the requirements of this Agreement to apply for and be approved for tenancy, whether or not the guest has an ownership or financial interest or lien in or to the mobilehome, such as a "legal" or "registered" owner of record. The requirements of this Agreement will also apply if resident only sells/transfers a portion of the interest in the mobilehome or assigns only a portion of the right to occupy the homesite.
