No owner or person acting on behalf of an owner may retaliate against a tenant or tenant-to-be for the tenant’s or tenant-to-be’s assertion or exercise of their rights under this chapter in any manner, including, but not limited to, threatening to bring or bringing an action to recover possession of a mobilehome space; engaging in any form of harassment that causes a tenant to quit the premises; attempting to dissuade a tenant-to-be from freely exercising their legal options to choose a month-to-month or other rental subject to the protections of this chapter; decreasing housing services; increasing the space rent; or imposing or increasing a security deposit or any other charge payable by a tenant. Any such retaliation is a violation of this chapter and subject to the remedies specified in Section 6.50.200. In an owner action against an affected tenant, evidence of the assertion or exercise by the tenant of rights pursuant to this chapter or under applicable state or federal law within one hundred eighty days prior to an alleged act of retaliation by or on behalf of an owner shall create a rebuttable presumption that the owner’s action is retaliatory. Mobilehome park tenants have a right to organize a tenants association without hindrance from a park owner or person acting on behalf of a park owner to exercise the rights provided under the provisions of this chapter. This association may be referred to as "the Park Tenants Association at (Park Name)." (Ord. 2857 NCS §3 (Exh. A), 2023; Ord. 1949 NCS §1 (part), 1994. Formerly 6.50.140.)
