For purposes of this subsection, "vacancy" shall mean the condition deemed to have occurred when (1) a subsequent tenant has the right to move his or her mobilehome onto the vacant space, (2) a subsequent owner of a mobilehome left in place has the right to move into the mobilehome, or (3) a sublessee tenant has the right to move into the mobilehome. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, the exemption provided herein shall not apply in the case of a sublease if the exemption would abrogate either a contractual relationship between the mobilehome owner and the mobilehome park owner or an interest between the mobilehome owner and the mobilehome park owner protected by the Contract Clauses of the United States and California Constitutions."
