Notice of Belief of Abandonment
To:
_____ (Name of homeowner) _____
_____ (Address of homeowner) _____
This notice is given pursuant to Section 800.36 of the Civil Code concerning the floating home marina leased by you at ________ (state location of the property by address or other sufficient description). The rent on this marina has been due and unpaid for 45 consecutive days and the marina believes that you have abandoned the floating home.
The floating home will be deemed abandoned within the meaning of Section 1951.2 of the Civil Code and your lease will terminate on ____ (here insert a date not less than 15 days after this notice is served personally or, if mailed, not less than 18 days after this notice is deposited in the mail) unless before that date the undersigned receives at the address indicated below a written notice from you stating both of the following:
(1) Your intent not to abandon the floating home.
(2) An address at which you may be served by certified mail in any action for unlawful detainer of the floating home marina.
You are required to pay the rent due and unpaid on this marina as required by the lease, and your failure to do so can lead to a court proceeding against you.
Dated: ________________________________
_____ (Signature of marina manager / owner) _____
_____ (Type or print name of marina manager / owner) _____
_____ (Address to which the homeowner is to send notice) _____
(e) The floating home shall not be deemed to be abandoned pursuant to this section if the homeowner proves any of the following:
(1) At the time the notice of belief of abandonment was given, the rent was not due and unpaid for 45 consecutive days.
(2) At the time the notice of belief of abandonment was given, it was not reasonable for the marina to believe that the homeowner had abandoned the floating home. The fact that the marina management knew that the homeowner left personal property on the floating home does not, of itself, justify a finding that the marina management did not reasonably believe that the homeowner had abandoned the floating home.
(3) Prior to the date specified in the marina’s notice, the homeowner gave written notice to the lessor stating his or her intent not to abandon the floating home and stating an address at which he or she may be served by certified mail in any action for unlawful detainer of the marina.
(4) During the period commencing 45 days before the time the notice of belief of abandonment was given and ending on the date the lease would have terminated pursuant to the notice, the homeowner paid to the marina all or a portion of the rent due and unpaid.
(f) Nothing in this section precludes the marina or the homeowner from otherwise proving that the floating home has been abandoned by the homeowner within the meaning of Section 1951.2.
(g) Nothing in this section precludes the marina from serving a notice requiring the homeowner to pay rent or quit as provided in Section 800.71 at any time permitted by that section, or affects the time and manner of giving any other notice required or permitted by law. The giving of the notice provided by this section does not satisfy the requirements of Sections 1161 and 1162 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
