Cal. Civ. Code § 44-7-111
Legislative findings and intent.
Operative Text
The General Assembly finds that abandoned mobile homes are a nuisance that cause blight and depress property values. This article is intended to provide local governing authorities with the authority to appoint an agent to determine the condition of mobile homes in order for landowners to remove or restore abandoned mobile homes left on their property. It is the further purpose of this article to provide landowners with the guidance necessary to efficiently and properly identify and dispose of abandoned mobile homes in this state while protecting the rights of any owner, lienholder, or other interested parties by performing a due diligence search, notification, and hearing process.
O.C.G.A. § 44-7-111 sets out the Georgia General Assembly's rationale for regulating abandoned mobile homes. The legislature determined that abandoned mobile homes constitute a nuisance that contributes to blight and reduces surrounding property values. To address this, the article establishes a framework allowing local governments to appoint agents to assess mobile home conditions and empowers landowners to remove or restore abandoned units, while requiring a due-diligence search, notification, and hearing process to protect owners, lienholders, and other interested parties.
