The Emergency Rent Stabilization Program

In December 2008, our park management/owners sent some of us this flyer regarding their "Emergency Rent Stabilization Program." They point out that they have "voluntarily instituted this program because of the nation's uncertain financial situation, the rising costs of living, and the effect these matters may have on our residents." They would like you to think that they are doing you a big favor but don't believe it. They are just using this sham to dupe residents into signing 20-30 additional pages of amendments to their existing lease agreements. Amendments that allow our park owners to squeeze every penny out of us that they can. Amendments that empower them and further take advantage of residents.

When you read this horse crap flyer remember this. Don't trust them! Don't believe them!

114 MONTH RENT INCREASE CLAUSE

Here is a copy of one of the 35 pages of our 10 year rental/lease contract. Click on it to enlarge and read the bracketed part. This is the clause that allowed our park to inform a resident that his rent would increase by approximately $355.00 per month. I have been informed that his rent was $895.00 per month and would be increasing to around $1250.00 per month. If this is correct, by reading the above clause means at least one resident is paying over $1250.00 per month lot space here.

Well here's the good news. (tic) The management has recognized his hardship and told him they would reduce his rent to $800.00 per month if he would sign another 10 year lease agreement. He did. What a sad predicament for any of us to be in.

Our beloved sign is gone...

Our sign that we have been viewing for years is now gone??? What happened to it??? Could it be the park management now realizes that it's not needed any longer since we aren't able to sell our homes due to the outrageously high lot rents here?

One man's story, is another man's shame...

My wife and I went to the market Saturday and when we returned she mentioned to me how much she loves our home. As we walked in the door she then said almost in a whisper, "I hope we don't lose our home." This made me think about how hard we have worked, how much we have sacrificed to get this place. It made me think about how every year we have to pay more and more just to stay here. Her sad whisper made me think that although we don't have a whole lot, what we do have in this home is just as important to us as any rich man's mansion is to him.

I picked up my daughter and gave her a hug thinking I was hiding my pain. I tried to think of some words that might comfort my wife. I could find none.

Rumors were going around the park this weekend about another eviction and letters threatening legal action being sent to some residents by Mobile Community Management.
