I'm Still Around

I must apologize for my absence over the past several months.  I've had a few health issues that slowed me down for a bit but now I'm back of top of things and will be posting again.  During my time off Iwas  still  able to research and read my mail but posting and answering correspondence had to be put on the back burner.  My return will most likely disappoint Jeff, Tom and MCM but that's just too bad.  As I have said in the past, I want this to be a clearing house for all information regarding the Tatum-Kaplan organization...good or bad...although as of yet, I have found found nothing good to post about them.
If you have any information regarding the Tatum-Kaplan organization that you don't see here, please forward it to me and if appropriate, I will share it with our readers.  Thanks again for your visits.

Are You Ready to Kiss Your Home Goodbye???

I recently found the following two sentences buried deep within a lengthy City of Upland document:


"Land in Upland is becoming too valuable to use as mobile home parks. 

Owners of existing parks are considering selling their land for development."

Apparently if you are a resident in ANY of the mobile home parks in Upland, your days on your current lot may very well be numbered. So much for the protection of the City of Gracious Living's rent control ordinance. It had already failed many of us anyway.


A big "Welcome to the nightmare" for Mountain View Estates, Oasis Mobile Estates, Upland Eldorado Mobile Home Park, Upland Meadows Mobile Estates and Upland View Terrace.

Is this the Future of Tatum Kaplan Owned Mobile Home Parks???

Just wondering is this is what residents of Tatum Kaplan owned parks have to look forward to in the future due to our ever-escalating rents...

 

 

The Rent is Too Damn High.....

 Here is a message for those of you who feel our rents are too damn high.  Jeffrey, Thomas, Chelu...even you might enjoy this.

1 UNLAWFUL DETAINER...2 UNLAWFUL DETAINERS...3 UNLAWFUL DETAINERS...etc.,etc.,etc...

What is an Unlawful Detainer Lawsuit?

"An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a suit brought by a landlord to obtain possession of the rented property and receive payment of back rent. In order to legally evict a tenant (remove and lock the tenant out of the property), the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit. An award for possession of property authorizes the landlord to evict you from the property. If the landlord is also awarded judgment for payment of back rent, he or she may collect the judgment by attaching your property, garnishing your wages, or any other legal means." (State of California Superior Court, San Bernardino County)


Here are some interesting figures for you involving unlawful detainers filed by the Tatum and Kaplan organization against their mobile home park residents.  The parks mentioned here are only of few owned by Tatum and Kaplan but the examples most likely reflect what has occurred in their parks throughout the state.  The information pertaining to the number of unlawful detainers was obtained via public records searches of the San Bernardino County Superior Court.

Upland Cascade Mobile Home Park has approximately 188 spaces. Since 1994 our park owners have filed approximately 120 unlawful detainer lawsuits against the residents of Upland Cascade.

Rancho Monte Vista MHP in Chino Hills has 226 spaces and since 1990 our park owners have filed approximately 190 unlawful detainers lawsuits against its residents.


Lake Cadena MHP has 281 spaces and since 1991 our park owners have filed approximately 200 unlawful detainers lawsuits against its residents.

That comes to a whopping total of 510 unlawful detainers in just 3 of the 19 Tatum Kaplan owned mobilehome parks.  I'll let you do the rest of the math to figure out how huge this could be in their parks throughout the state. 


So what happens to their homes after victims residents are evicted or just walk away because they have been rent gouged out of the park?  I have mentioned in previous posts that Community Mobilehome Sales a.k.a. CMS is part of the Tatum Kaplan Gang and handles the sales of the park owned mobile homes.  CMS currently has a website listing approximately 80-90 mobile homes for sale in the various Tatum Kaplan owned parks.  Check it out here.  I wonder how these listings were acquired by CMS?
