This is exactly the reason I would never buy a Mobil home unless I could buy the land underneath. This has always been the problem with them. Not a good investment--land goes up in value in most cases.
What was once a solid lower cost of housing has now become a nightmare for those stuck in these communities. Pure greed has taken over and its apparently legal.
@@MelindaTheBeautiful There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money. The ethical problem arises when hedge fund type investment groups target low income mobile parks because they know the residents will be unable to fight back - with many of the residents losing a home they had for many years and becoming homeless. The investors know that is what will happen, but they let greed be their God. I saw RUclips investment videos a couple of years ago where they highlighted that residents wouldn't be able to move their mobile homes, that they would be trapped and forced to pay big rent increases - that is evil!
A lot of people in mobile/trailer parks can't even afford to pay attention unfortunately . There are those with health issues and near the end of life If they were able to come up with millions of bucks , they wouldn't be living in a Moby, getting the squeeze by greedy Vultures .
Several of my friends and I hired a real estate agent to look into doing that. How much it will cost to buy some land and upgrade it for our own community that we all purchase together. They advised us to each buy a lot but share the expense for installing the sewer, water, electric etc...
It's not so much a matter of management not liking you as it is their greed for making money is stronger than any ethical principle they may have. The current housing crisis is fueling the greed.
It's still better than living in an apartment.... At least you can own your mobilehome and sell it ..... Living in a of apartments ? Your just paying rent all the time and you don't even own the unit...
I once got a ticket for having 3 tomato plants, on the side of my house, and they got big.

Yes off gateway. Be glad for 900, because do you know all the appartment complexes near our trailer are now charging 1900 for one bedroom, 2600 for two, and 2900 for three bedroom
Thus is what happens when Feds buy MBS, and indirectly encourages banks/Corporations make buy more homes so their favorite investor (Fed) can buy more at any price(unlimited, that's was the word used).
This, exactly. The folks who crashed the economy in 2008, took taxpayer's homes, received astronomical bailouts and bonuses. They're at it again, also supported by poorly regulated PPP loans or grants.
The residents need to band together and do a class action lawsuit against the association that's running this manufactured housing development. This is the same development when the homes originally showed commercials showing the park residence on their bicycles parking their bicycles underneath their carport showing residence with hoses in their hand watering their grass while saying hello to other neighbors that walked by. Ironic that they think this is code violation. The truth is they want to evict these people from their home so they can sell them for more money even if they have to destroy the home and put a new home on the lot they know that they will receive more money so that's why they do it. And that's why the residents need to form a class action lawsuit against that awful Association. That act more like Nazi Germany then America.
@@dcg590 just because they don't own the land and are paying lot rent. Does not give the HOA a right to harass the tenant renting that lot parcel. And that's exactly what the HOA in this community is doing their harassing the residence hoping to force out the residence so that they can rebuild new and charge more. What makes this even worse is many of the people living they're renting the lot actually own the home. However the home cannot be removed and set up somewhere else. So the homeowners are forced to stay there or lose their home. If the HOA originally allowed people to wash their cars have hoses ride their bikes Park their bikes underneath the carport originally in the original bylaws of the community's HOA. Then the HOA should not be able to change those rules. They should keep the original docket rules if the rules are to be changed then that needs to be voted on as a majority of the community. Otherwise the HOA needs to offer the people the proper amount of money to purchase their home. Instead of basically stealing their homes from them. What the HOA is doing to this community in this video is pure harassment.
Owners are getting greedy. I believe in keeping the community free of junky items and all neighbors keeping their personal space looking nice. These places need a utility room for their yard equipment.
the property management/owners know the law and try to scam people out of their trailer homes. this same thing happened to me, "they" nickpik till they give you an eviction notice, to move your trailer... which is like a $10,000 dollar job' and then, you got to move it to where? it's not like a pull trailer or 5wheel. so if you decide to sell your trailer within the "60days" of your eviction, "they" will reject every application from people who are trying to live in there park in order to stop people from buying the trailer from you. so they can keep it for free' and either rent it or sell it. Thieves... Most people living in trailer homes are not rich, and oh' how many have been taken advantaged of.
Exactly this. They know exactly what they're doing, and the corporate investors who own some of the management companies even have online instructional videos as to how to get residents evicted and then steal their homes, making them big $$$$$. They know that most mobile residents don't have funds to fight them or move their buildings. Also, note here that they're threatening a 30 day eviction notice.
A very similar thing is happening in my mobile home park in CA. I have lived there nearly a decade. Before when we had inspections, I never even got anything to fix. I was given a list of 4 fairly big things on my property to fix...including my entire coach and shed ...and all this within a 7 day period. The notice states that after 7 days they will do another inspection, but if everything isn't up to par that is all the communication we will get and they will start an eviction and we will have 30 days to vacate or move premises. I am doing everything within my power to comply, but this is an extreme economic hardship for many and some just have no one to turn to...especially for just 7 days notice. I'm certain that this is illegal, but can't find the bylaws to back it up. But, some people have been given a long list, and under the best of circumstances, a near impossibility in 7 days. For many, this is a severe economic hardship, and about 6 months notice should be given This is all due to a very greedy owner who always wants more. I pray their deeds are exposed and people are protected.
There are many big corporate owners instigating these aggressive policies so they can raise rents astronomically, or kick people out of their homes. Then they also get to steal and sell your home. Unscrupulous investment agencies even have online workshops about these unreasonable tactics for making big money on mobile parks. It's a huge cruel scam. Contact your local and state representatives, a lawyer, and a tv station. If this is happening to you, it's also happening to your neighbors. Good luck. I also wonder about the legality of this because even in an apartment in CA, you would have to be given much more than a 7 or 30 day notice. Fishy.
in california n the usa, landlords are required to pay $25000 to unhouse you. especially if its for them to make money ie. upgrades, rent increases, etc.
@@cccc8643 In California, landlords can give no-cause 60-day vacancy notices unless you're on a lease, and then they can refuse to renew the lease at the end of a year. No fines whatsoever. Unless you live under a special kind of rent control? What federal law are you referring to?
Is this by any chance managed by Parakeet Properties LLC. They bought 4 Properties in Brevard county back in October in Cocoa and Cape Canaveral. They are doing the same to us. They refuse to give us leases saying we are all month to month. All but 3 residents own their own mobile homes. They violate for color of our mobiles, grass has to be cut weekly. They sent a letter stating they are raising the rent and charging each resident for property taxes. They have harassed residents so much a lot don't even want to live there anymore. Threatening eviction and court. Our community is mostly Hispanic.
Greed-I hope they they get justice...My dad always drilled into my head to stop renting and buy when I was in my early 20's in the early 90's....I thought....what's the rush??? So glad I listened!!!
I will tell anyone if you buy a manufactured home or trailer home first go buy the land too put it on and never put it in a rent payment park because when you pay off the manufacture home they will find a way to get you out of the house and in the streets and they will sell it to someone else
REIT investment groups some specialize in mobile home parks. They can force you to leave and if you don't move the home to another community they can keep it and sell it. It's crazy, but if you don't own the land you are on you are at the mercy of those that do.
There's a special place in hell for the people that run that property. This country is about to go into a depression. No one can afford to live anywhere.

Thank goodness for"Contact 5" if not for them those tenants would have been evicted and there trailers sold. What is happening to the world we live in??? We as citizens need to start protesting these politicians and getting them out of office.
As of 2021 in CA all tenants or owners of a mobilehome in CA has to pay an annual HCD fee of $25.00: plus fee.. so this fee is paying for the salary of having an HCD inspector come to MH parks and their job is to write people up for stupid violations

Land owners always come back with the same answers; "This is private property. You have to leave. No comment." That's like the best indicator that something fishy is going on. They're like the schoolyard bullies that want to pick on the little kids but they're scared to death to square off with someone their own size.
Drama in the news clip. To close out the story, they put a woman crying, saying "She was supposed to buy a mobile home but they sold it to someone else." That has absolutely nothing to do with current residents issues.
I agree, but that's the market value price of what alot of the mobile/manufactured homes are going for nowadays. I remember when they were going for at least $50,000-$60,000 max (and that was 10 - 20 years ago) but then again, I remember when stick built homes were selling to the price of what they are selling mobile home for now. They ("Big G" aka govt) and the corporations that are in their pocket are trying to squeeze average everyday people like turnips knowing that this entire agenda is a trick bag. The apartment industry is losing it's damn mind with the astronomical prices that they are raising rents to, the housing market is doing a repeat of 2008 along with the astronomical prices that they are selling homes for , the corporations are in the game to snatch homeownership opportunities from people (who are just looking to buy a home to have a roof over their heads) only to make the homes that they are snatching up as " rentals" with no path to ownership, The HOAs Are The Devil, and now they are trying to get it's tentacles in the MHPs to do damage there also. They (Big G ) and their cronies truly don't want people to afford anything but want to complain about tent cities and people being out on the streets. Hypocritical B.S. is what this entire thing is.
Many mobile parks have been recently purchased by large corporate investors. They want to kick people out, raise rents, etc. They know many people can't move or sell their homes on short notice, and in some cases, the Corp gets to steal the homes too. They even have online instructional videos explaining exactly this. Some forward thinking communities have instigated controls on mobile parks and rent increases to protect their seniors, but these are rew and far between.
This is true now that these investors have gotten into the market. Not all the smaller companies that own parks are like this, but they are getting a bad rap along with these newer or unscrupulous companies.
Call it a "STABILIZATION of RENT INCREASES Ordinance" - because "rent-control" ALWAYS has a negative connotation for people, thinking people are getting something for free. City councilmembers do NOT understand or want to understand that these folks are JUST requesting capping rent increases ONLY. The renters are NOT asking them to control the initial base rents - JUST the rent increases. Calling it a "STABILIZATION of RENT INCREASES Ordinance" enables it to be SPECIFIC and with NO mention of the negative connotation of "rent control". SO, request from your city councilmembers to enact a "STABILIZATION of RENT INCREASES Ordinance" in your city or town now. We (Renters) have to petition for our protection for our homes (apartments) because it's only going to get worse.
We live in midland tx in a mobile home community that was just bought out by someone in California and we have the same problems. We have lived here for 10 years without any problems from management & the new owners have been awful to all of us with code violations and threats of eviction, having tow trucks come take our vehicles and trailers if they are parked anywhere they don't want them, telling us to mow the grass when it's winter and there is no grass at all. It's ridiculous, but the water throughout the entire park has a disgusting rotten egg smell that will make you sick anytime you wash clothes or shower or run the water at all really but management isn't worries one bit about that. They are just trying to get everyone to move out so they are making it impossible to stay. It's sad
I did a lot of business with Sand an Sea Village way back in the early and mid 70's. Has a mobile home dealership inside the park and sold a ton of homes in that park. Was a great place and was a new park back then. Sad to see what it has become.
Yep, sadly their community plot would be more profitable as new construction high rises. It's clear as day they sold out.... 3-4 story condos in place of one of those homes.
Were the properties in violation also an eyesore? I couldn't tell from the news coverage. If so, did the news attempt to contact any residents in favor of correction notices? I agree that lot rents shouldn't be raised to be unaffordable, but it would also be unfortunate to have to live next to someone with a grill, bikes or excessive furniture in the front yard. It doesn't seem unreasonable to give time to move them.
What is so bad about a BBQ grill and a bicycle ? They are both outside items that most People keep in the carport or the front porch. It's not Beverly Hills. I have a bicycle and two grills on my porch, one charcoal and one propane. And my Neighbors could care less. You know why ? None of their business AND they are good Neighbors. Are you ?
This is an attempt to get these people to give up their property. A sudden sweep of violations from someone they hired as maintenance? There are real regulating agencies that govern code enforcement violations and they aren't hired, inept maintenance staff who are telling residents to create fire hazards by moving grills and gas cans to the inside of your dwelling place...
If those are issues it should clearly be stated in the lease agreement. Many of these parks are being purchased by corporate investors. They're looking for any excuse, as seen here, to evict tenants, and if you can't sell your mobile within 30 days, they get to steal that too. They even offer workshops detailing their aggressive strategies for making huge profits by bilking mobile park residents.
This is EXACTLY what's happening in my residence. They evicted my 93-year-old mother, citing she threatened park managers with bodily harm. That was the best they could come up with as she's violated no other rules, so they made it up. She is facing a life on the street because of it. They only want her trailer so they can sell it for a nice tidy profit because she is not able to move it off the property. She lost the case but is appealing the judge's decision. And it's all legal. The laws need to be changed!
I hope some honest lawyers will step up and help save these residents from these crooked thieves.

That is so shady! The property owners are clearly trying to force people out so they can sell to higher bidders. Sick!!!
It sounds like they want to make you so uncomfortable that you willingly leave.
They should fight back. They can't just let someone barge right into their property take over.
Mobile homes are expensive. There is no way that I’m paying for a home that is on land that I can never own.
This is exactly the reason I would never buy a Mobil home unless I could buy the land underneath. This has always been the problem with them. Not a good investment--land goes up in value in most cases.
@@patwats8860 And at the same time mobile homes go down in value. In fact anything that is mobile loses value.
What was once a solid lower cost of housing has now become a nightmare for those stuck in these communities. Pure greed has taken over and its apparently legal.
@@MelindaTheBeautiful There is nothing wrong with wanting to make money. The ethical problem arises when hedge fund type investment groups target low income mobile parks because they know the residents will be unable to fight back - with many of the residents losing a home they had for many years and becoming homeless. The investors know that is what will happen, but they let greed be their God. I saw RUclips investment videos a couple of years ago where they highlighted that residents wouldn't be able to move their mobile homes, that they would be trapped and forced to pay big rent increases - that is evil!
@@Thomas63r2 bingo!!
The residents should all band together and either purchase the entire property from the thug ownership company, file a class action lawsuit, or both.
A lot of people in mobile/trailer parks can't even afford to pay attention unfortunately . There are those with health issues and near the end of life If they were able to come up with millions of bucks , they wouldn't be living in a Moby, getting the squeeze by greedy Vultures .
Several of my friends and I hired a real estate agent to look into doing that. How much it will cost to buy some land and upgrade it for our own community that we all purchase together. They advised us to each buy a lot but share the expense for installing the sewer, water, electric etc...
I vote for Both!
Then they wonder why people go postal.
Because they’re irresponsible and knew the risks and don’t like consequences. That’s why they go postal
They keep raising the lot rent yearly. If management doesn’t like you they will Continue to harass you for any petty thing.
It's not so much a matter of management not liking you as it is their greed for making money is stronger than any ethical principle they may have. The current housing crisis is fueling the greed.
It's still better than living in an apartment.... At least you can own your mobilehome and sell it ..... Living in a of apartments ? Your just paying rent all the time and you don't even own the unit...
Like at work.
I once got a ticket for having 3 tomato plants, on the side of my house, and they got big. Next thing I know, is I'm getting a ticket, via snail mail for overgrown weeds, lol,, this was a small town and we only had the one guy that runs around looking for something to be wrong, plus he was the dog catcher, and this if this man wasn't, probably 400lbs (no joke) and actually walked up to the "overgrown weeds" he'd see green tomatoes on them, and yes, I fought it and won
"Fat Man" needs a neck tie ... 😵
Stop Lying,,,, you know it was Marijuana!
I'm going through this now with a new company that took over. What's your property management company name?
I feel ya. I got a fined for tossing a wet front door rug over the fence to dry. I was speechless.
This is outrageous . the people doing this is basically stealing from the homeowners ..
No. They can keep their homes or sell them. They don’t own the land. It’s their own fault
I live in Whispering Pines, been here for over 20 years own my home rent the lot which with rent, water and pass on taxes is now over $900 a month, I'm disabled and don't even get enough to pay rent so have to have a roommate. The management just sent out letters to residence for stuff liKe this they ' want anything in your yard even potted plants but they haven't trimmed trees to get ready for hurricane season in forever. Is this the Sand and Sea off Gateway???
Yes off gateway. Be glad for 900, because do you know all the appartment complexes near our trailer are now charging 1900 for one bedroom, 2600 for two, and 2900 for three bedroom
Thus is what happens when Feds buy MBS, and indirectly encourages banks/Corporations make buy more homes so their favorite investor (Fed) can buy more at any price(unlimited, that's was the word used).
This, exactly. The folks who crashed the economy in 2008, took taxpayer's homes, received astronomical bailouts and bonuses. They're at it again, also supported by poorly regulated PPP loans or grants.
Unethical and mean spirited!
"But but but it's just business"
This is harassment. The residents don't have a garage to put grills away. What if the bbq propane tank leaks inside the home? I see a lawsuit coming.
Exactly! That property manager wouldn't even provide storage for the homeowners.
That’s ridiculous smh the government needs to step in & do something about it.
The residents need to band together and do a class action lawsuit against the association that's running this manufactured housing development. This is the same development when the homes originally showed commercials showing the park residence on their bicycles parking their bicycles underneath their carport showing residence with hoses in their hand watering their grass while saying hello to other neighbors that walked by. Ironic that they think this is code violation. The truth is they want to evict these people from their home so they can sell them for more money even if they have to destroy the home and put a new home on the lot they know that they will receive more money so that's why they do it. And that's why the residents need to form a class action lawsuit against that awful Association. That act more like Nazi Germany then America.
Hitler literally learned from America lol. He said it himself watching how America treated blacks
They don’t own the land. It’s their own fault.
@@dcg590 just because they don't own the land and are paying lot rent. Does not give the HOA a right to harass the tenant renting that lot parcel. And that's exactly what the HOA in this community is doing their harassing the residence hoping to force out the residence so that they can rebuild new and charge more. What makes this even worse is many of the people living they're renting the lot actually own the home. However the home cannot be removed and set up somewhere else. So the homeowners are forced to stay there or lose their home. If the HOA originally allowed people to wash their cars have hoses ride their bikes Park their bikes underneath the carport originally in the original bylaws of the community's HOA. Then the HOA should not be able to change those rules. They should keep the original docket rules if the rules are to be changed then that needs to be voted on as a majority of the community. Otherwise the HOA needs to offer the people the proper amount of money to purchase their home. Instead of basically stealing their homes from them. What the HOA is doing to this community in this video is pure harassment.
Owners are getting greedy. I believe in keeping the community free of junky items and all neighbors keeping their personal space looking nice. These places need a utility room for their yard equipment.
the property management/owners know the law and try to scam people out of their trailer homes.
this same thing happened to me, "they" nickpik till they give you an eviction notice, to move your trailer... which is like a $10,000 dollar job' and then, you got to move it to where? it's not like a pull trailer or 5wheel.
so if you decide to sell your trailer within the "60days" of your eviction, "they" will reject every application from people who are trying to live in there park in order to stop people from buying the trailer from you. so they can keep it for free' and either rent it or sell it.
Thieves... Most people living in trailer homes are not rich, and oh' how many have been taken advantaged of.
Exactly this. They know exactly what they're doing, and the corporate investors who own some of the management companies even have online instructional videos as to how to get residents evicted and then steal their homes, making them big $$$$$. They know that most mobile residents don't have funds to fight them or move their buildings. Also, note here that they're threatening a 30 day eviction notice.
If HOA are bad … HOA is a Mobil park are outrageous the rent of the land is crazy and is a mobile home 🤦🏻♀️
A very similar thing is happening in my mobile home park in CA. I have lived there nearly a decade. Before when we had inspections, I never even got anything to fix. I was given a list of 4 fairly big things on my property to fix...including my entire coach and shed ...and all this within a 7 day period.
The notice states that after 7 days they will do another inspection, but if everything isn't up to par that is all the communication we will get and they will start an eviction and we will have 30 days to vacate or move premises.
I am doing everything within my power to comply, but this is an extreme economic hardship for many and some just have no one to turn to...especially for just 7 days notice. I'm
certain that this is illegal, but can't find
the bylaws to back it up. But, some people have been given a long list, and under the best of circumstances, a near impossibility in 7 days. For many, this is a severe economic hardship, and about 6 months notice should be given
This is all due to a very greedy owner who always wants more. I pray their
deeds are exposed and people are protected.
There are many big corporate owners instigating these aggressive policies so they can raise rents astronomically, or kick people out of their homes. Then they also get to steal and sell your home. Unscrupulous investment agencies even have online workshops about these unreasonable tactics for making big money on mobile parks. It's a huge cruel scam. Contact your local and state representatives, a lawyer, and a tv station. If this is happening to you, it's also happening to your neighbors. Good luck.
I also wonder about the legality of this because even in an apartment in CA, you would have to be given much more than a 7 or 30 day notice. Fishy.
in california n the usa, landlords are required to pay $25000 to unhouse you. especially if its for them to make money ie. upgrades, rent increases, etc.
its FED LAW
@@cccc8643 In California, landlords can give no-cause 60-day vacancy notices unless you're on a lease, and then they can refuse to renew the lease at the end of a year. No fines whatsoever. Unless you live under a special kind of rent control? What federal law are you referring to?
also curious
Is this by any chance managed by Parakeet Properties LLC. They bought 4 Properties in Brevard county back in October in Cocoa and Cape Canaveral. They are doing the same to us. They refuse to give us leases saying we are all month to month. All but 3 residents own their own mobile homes. They violate for color of our mobiles, grass has to be cut weekly. They sent a letter stating they are raising the rent and charging each resident for property taxes. They have harassed residents so much a lot don't even want to live there anymore. Threatening eviction and court. Our community is mostly Hispanic.
Greed-I hope they they get justice...My dad always drilled into my head to stop renting and buy when I was in my early 20's in the early 90's....I thought....what's the rush??? So glad I listened!!!
Call the Governor!
Lol he’s probably in on it !
These residents need to come together and hire a bulldog attorney to sue the landowner.
I will tell anyone if you buy a manufactured home or trailer home first go buy the land too put it on and never put it in a rent payment park because when you pay off the manufacture home they will find a way to get you out of the house and in the streets and they will sell it to someone else
REIT investment groups some specialize in mobile home parks. They can force you to leave and if you don't move the home to another community they can keep it and sell it. It's crazy, but if you don't own the land you are on you are at the mercy of those that do.
Florida residents can thank their governor for allowing this to happen!
Governor DeSantis , isn't the greedy owner but it would be nice if he could help . I'm just surprised that you didn't blame Trump
He is too busy censoring textbooks.
@@j.richards2346 well .. DeSantos IS a tRUMPubliKKKLan ... so same thing
The no comment guy says it all
Exactly if it wasn't for this news station exposing them, some would have been evicted by now
The no comment guy is probably just doing his job? I doubt that he owns the place.
There's a special place in hell for the people that run that property. This country is about to go into a depression. No one can afford to live anywhere.
About? We're already on the road, just waiting till we get there. Biden hates this Country and you ain't seen nothing yet. 81,000,000 vote people. Quit saying you didn't vote for him, or the FBI will be kicking in your door.
I can live where eva I want because I'm a lottery winner
Where is the state law protecting people from harassment?
Thank goodness for"Contact 5" if not for them those tenants would have been evicted and there trailers sold. What is happening to the world we live in??? We as citizens need to start protesting these politicians and getting them out of office.
*their
@@LindaFromSeaAtTull lol...
So the land owners get screwed? Ya great. They all cry and whine when they knew they didn’t own the land going in. I’m betting this isn’t over.
I'd. Rather. Be. Homeless. It's. Easier
Unbelievable. There's enough crap going on and these poor people have to go through this?
As of 2021 in CA all tenants or owners of a mobilehome in CA has to pay an annual HCD fee of $25.00: plus fee.. so this fee is paying for the salary of having an HCD inspector come to MH parks and their job is to write people up for stupid violations
Are you serious ? What we got a few weeks ago is , for two month they gonna check on our water intake and depend how much we waist our bill will go up and it won’t matter if after those two month we will waist less water .
They are lying Department of Health would've sent their own inspector not a maintenance man.
Yeah. I wonder if that violation notice is public information.
@@suncam57 If it's truly a code enforcement violation notice it should be public record. The residents should contact their local code enforcement office and department of public health to see if there are legitimate cases and notices from those agencies. If not tje residents could possibly have a housing discrimination lawsuit on their hands...
GREAT JOB WPTV News! Way to go above and beyond. So happy for the residents😀
Won’t last. They knew the risks. They’ll be put out anyway , as they should. They don’t own the land and the owners can do what they want with it.
This is very big business for the Land owners🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
yeah this just makes me sick...that is a disgusting practice i hope the residents take action on everyone involved in that egregious conduct
$100K for a trailer home? Who would pay that?
@Dision, Oh they go for way more the that
New yorkers and California's
The apartments down the street increased the rent $1800. People are required to pay 4k a month now for a super small apartment.
@@paulettebarrow9791 that's crazy if you don't own the land. Makes no sense.
that’s so bad I know. where I’m from I found a few before I was eligible to buy a home and they were still under 70,000. By the time I started looking for houses last year all those
Land owners always come back with the same answers; "This is private property. You have to leave. No comment." That's like the best indicator that something fishy is going on. They're like the schoolyard bullies that want to pick on the little kids but they're scared to death to square off with someone their own size.
This is why it should be against federal law to rent land to a homeowner.
ha ha .. another winner of the Forrest Gump award
Good reporting but will there be a follow up on what happened to the woman crying...
This is the problem with living on someone else's property. STOP DOING IT PEOPLE!
Well done news crew,
Greed
something needs to be done about owners of parks accountability
Drama in the news clip. To close out the story, they put a woman crying, saying "She was supposed to buy a mobile home but they sold it to someone else."
That has absolutely nothing to do with current residents issues.
Shitty news Channels 101
Legal housing SHARKS..The news station provided an amazing community service by airing the plight of these residents .💯👍👍
What about the woman who lost her home???
First of all you don't store gas inside..fire hazard.and selling a mobile home for a hundred thousand is outrageous.thats greed
I agree, but that's the market value price of what alot of the mobile/manufactured homes are going for nowadays. I remember when they were going for at least $50,000-$60,000 max (and that was 10 - 20 years ago) but then again, I remember when stick built homes were selling to the price of what they are selling mobile home for now. They ("Big G" aka govt) and the corporations that are in their pocket are trying to squeeze average everyday people like turnips knowing that this entire agenda is a trick bag. The apartment industry is losing it's damn mind with the astronomical prices that they are raising rents to, the housing market is doing a repeat of 2008 along with the astronomical prices that they are selling homes for , the corporations are in the game to snatch homeownership opportunities from people (who are just looking to buy a home to have a roof over their heads) only to make the homes that they are snatching up as " rentals" with no path to ownership, The HOAs Are The Devil, and now they are trying to get it's tentacles in the MHPs to do damage there also. They (Big G ) and their cronies truly don't want people to afford anything but want to complain about tent cities and people being out on the streets. Hypocritical B.S. is what this entire thing is.
Oh, so the HEALTH department says you can't have a bike, outdoor furniture and garden hoses outside of your home....right.
and they should have gasoline cans indoors....
Living on someone elses property can cause problems.
Many mobile parks have been recently purchased by large corporate investors. They want to kick people out, raise rents, etc. They know many people can't move or sell their homes on short notice, and in some cases, the Corp gets to steal the homes too. They even have online instructional videos explaining exactly this. Some forward thinking communities have instigated controls on mobile parks and rent increases to protect their seniors, but these are rew and far between.
This is true now that these investors have gotten into the market. Not all the smaller companies that own parks are like this, but they are getting a bad rap along with these newer or unscrupulous companies.
Even the smaller/ mom & pop owned parks are getting "offers they can't refuse" by these big corporations. it's sad.
I was just talking to my wife about owning a mobile home on a rented lot. You gotta be nutz to do it.
OMG?!
That destructive outside garden hose!
😲😲
It's all about the land & that allows them to harass mobile home owners?
Sounds like a strong arm tactic to evict people for the land....
Greedy is getting out of hand
Call it a "STABILIZATION of RENT INCREASES Ordinance" - because "rent-control" ALWAYS has a negative connotation for people, thinking people are getting something for free.
City councilmembers do NOT understand or want to understand that these folks are JUST requesting capping rent increases ONLY.
The renters are NOT asking them to control the initial base rents - JUST the rent increases.
Calling it a "STABILIZATION of RENT INCREASES Ordinance" enables it to be SPECIFIC and with NO mention of the negative connotation of "rent control".
SO, request from your city councilmembers to enact a "STABILIZATION of RENT INCREASES Ordinance" in your city or town now.
We (Renters) have to petition for our protection for our homes (apartments) because it's only going to get worse.
Crooks should be against the law
This sounds like a scam!!
We live in midland tx in a mobile home community that was just bought out by someone in California and we have the same problems. We have lived here for 10 years without any problems from management & the new owners have been awful to all of us with code violations and threats of eviction, having tow trucks come take our vehicles and trailers if they are parked anywhere they don't want them, telling us to mow the grass when it's winter and there is no grass at all. It's ridiculous, but the water throughout the entire park has a disgusting rotten egg smell that will make you sick anytime you wash clothes or shower or run the water at all really but management isn't worries one bit about that. They are just trying to get everyone to move out so they are making it impossible to stay. It's sad
Put laws to get those people removed from that type of power that’s messed up feeling for the guy in his new home with his new lil family
The owners have plans for the land and property...
How shameful of that park! Exploiting people for profits. Nasty devils.
Developers want the land they are just taking it. Why isn't florida lawmakers preventing it?
I did a lot of business with Sand an Sea Village way back in the early and mid 70's. Has a mobile home dealership inside the park and sold a ton of homes in that park. Was a great place and was a new park back then. Sad to see what it has become.
Yep, sadly their community plot would be more profitable as new construction high rises. It's clear as day they sold out.... 3-4 story condos in place of one of those homes.
That property manager wouldn't be seen again the ocean is a big place.
Nice alt account coward.
Were the properties in violation also an eyesore? I couldn't tell from the news coverage. If so, did the news attempt to contact any residents in favor of correction notices? I agree that lot rents shouldn't be raised to be unaffordable, but it would also be unfortunate to have to live next to someone with a grill, bikes or excessive furniture in the front yard. It doesn't seem unreasonable to give time to move them.
What is so bad about a BBQ grill and a bicycle ? They are both outside items that most People keep in the carport or the front porch. It's not Beverly Hills. I have a bicycle and two grills on my porch, one charcoal and one propane. And my Neighbors could care less. You know why ? None of their business AND they are good Neighbors. Are you ?
This is an attempt to get these people to give up their property. A sudden sweep of violations from someone they hired as maintenance? There are real regulating agencies that govern code enforcement violations and they aren't hired, inept maintenance staff who are telling residents to create fire hazards by moving grills and gas cans to the inside of your dwelling place...
If those are issues it should clearly be stated in the lease agreement. Many of these parks are being purchased by corporate investors. They're looking for any excuse, as seen here, to evict tenants, and if you can't sell your mobile within 30 days, they get to steal that too. They even offer workshops detailing their aggressive strategies for making huge profits by bilking mobile park residents.
The housing market is unreal!
How you stop people like this, don't purchase homes from greedy people.
This is EXACTLY what's happening in my residence. They evicted my 93-year-old mother, citing she threatened park managers with bodily harm. That was the best they could come up with as she's violated no other rules, so they made it up. She is facing a life on the street because of it. They only want her trailer so they can sell it for a nice tidy profit because she is not able to move it off the property. She lost the case but is appealing the judge's decision. And it's all legal. The laws need to be changed!
Well, that’s the risk of renting. They are within legal terms.
You got to file a lawsuit against them
Obvious harassment and pure evil
This is just the first salvo. Management will return again. Meaner.
Sounds like they're trying to sell to a developer.
This is so sad.
People who sign up for mobile homes really need to read the fine print. These actions are totally legit because you rent the house, not the land
That's what happens when you rent. It's a month to month agreement. Expecting you have claim ownership of the land you rent is a big mistake.
The owner of the land is called robber . People who are living in the A Boynton Beach all together , take the land owner to the court .
Why? The landlord can do what they want with their property. These people knew the risks. No one forced them to live there. Go away
Ocean tide in rivera beach is doing the same t hing
Gas can to be kept inside?
this is not over ! they will look for other ways to kick them out
Will the news channel do a follow up story with the residents to see if the notices were truly dropped?
Why would you live in trailer home?
Great job making a difference
This is worse than HOAs.
