What is the basic meaning of California Civil Code Section 1946.1?

It dictates the various notice periods required for termination of a holdover tenancy. If you'll describe the situation you're concerned about, you'll probably get better responses.

Depends if you are a tenant renting the mobile home, or the owner of the mobile home, and the Park is trying to terminate your tenancy. Special rules relate to mobile home parks and owners.

It is the statute which talks about ending a periodic tenancy. In California, a landlord can end a periodic tenancy (month-to-month) by giving the tenant proper advance written notice. The landlord must give sixty (60) days written notice that the tenancy will end if every tenant has lived in the rental unit for a year or more. (Civil Code section 1946.1(b).) However, the landlord must give the tenant thirty (30) days written notice in either of the following situations: -- Any tenant or resident has lived in the rental unit less than one year (Civil Code section 1946; Civil Code section 1946.1(c)), or -- The landlord has contracted to sell the rental unit to another person who intends to occupy it for at least a year after the tenancy ends. In addition, all four of the following must be true in order for the selling landlord to give the tenant a 30-day notice: (a) The landlord must have opened escrow with a licensed escrow agent or real estate broker, and (b) The landlord must have given the tenant the 30-day notice no later than 120 days after opening the escrow, and (c) The landlord must not previously have given you a 30-day or 60-day notice, and (d) The rental unit must be one that can be sold separately from any other dwelling unit. (Civil Code Section 1946.1(d).) The landlord usually is not required to explain or state a reason for ending the tenancy in the 30-day or 60-day notice. The landlord may serve the 30-day or 60-day notice by certified mail or by one of the methods described under Code of Civil Procedure section 1162, which provides: "(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), the notices required by Sections 1161 and 1161a may be served by any of the following methods: (1) By delivering a copy to the tenant personally. (2) If he or she is absent from his or her place of residence, and from his or her usual place of business, by leaving a copy with some person of suitable age and discretion at either place, and sending a copy through the mail addressed to the tenant at his or her place of residence. (3) If such place of residence and business cannot be ascertained, or a person of suitable age or discretion there can not be found, then by affixing a copy in a conspicuous place on the property, and also delivering a copy to a person there residing, if such person can be found; and also sending a copy through the mail addressed to the tenant at the place where the property is situated. Service upon a subtenant may be made in the same manner."
