Mobile Home Rent Review Commission 5/6/2026

The City of Hemet Mobile Home Rent Review Commission held a meeting on May 6, 2026, to continue deliberations on the London Spires mobile home community petition for rent review. The commission confirmed that no new evidence or public testimony would be accepted, focusing solely on the record from the April 22, 2026 hearing. After hearing brief oral arguments confined to previously submitted evidence, the commission discussed concerns about the adequacy and clarity of financial documentation supporting the requested rent increase. They noted discrepancies in rent increase notifications, lack of detailed expense reports, and issues related to amenities and resident communication. Ultimately, the commission moved to approve a modified rent increase of $25 per month plus a $0.33 monthly trash service increase, totaling $25.33, with any overpayments to be refunded in accordance with ordinance 772. The commission emphasized the need for more detailed financial evidence in future requests and highlighted resident concerns about security and communication. The final decision is to be provided in writing within 10 days and is not subject to appeal to the city council, though judicial review under state law remains possible.
