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.

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?

The Tatum Kaplan Rent Stabilization Packet

Here is a copy of The Tatum Kaplan Rent Stabilization Packet that is distributed by the park owners/management to residents.  In my opinion this packet is just another 30 pages of legalese and trickery devised to give our park owners more financial and legal advantages over residents.  This is a prime example of the methods the Tatum and Kaplan organization will stoop to in order to empower themselves and squeeze every last cent from us.  Sure, they'll give you a rent decrease that will probably amount to less than $20.00 per month but if you carefully read the packet you will discover that what it sets you up for in the future could be even more devastating than the atrocious situation we are currently facing.  This packet of paperwork along with the copy of the Tatum Kaplan Long Term Lease that I posted earlier should be required reading for any of our elected officials, particularly those officials who seem to believe that this is not their problem.  


I have highlighted one section in the document that has the infamous 200 plus word sentence.  I challenge anyone who reads it to email  me a concise, clear explanation of what it means.  That challenge also applies to any of our legislators that have visited this blog.

A Copy of the Tatum Kaplan Long Term Lease

I am posting a link to A Copy of the Tatum Kaplan Long Term Lease.  Keep in mind that this is only one document among many, many, many documents presented to prospective residents at the time of their final interview before they move into the park.  Look it over and see for yourself how confusing/misleading/deceptive it is.  Is this intentional...I'll let you be the judge.
