4 Investigates: The Mobile Home Park Act
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 янв 2025
- Affordable housing is nearly impossible to find these days. Mobile home communities make up a huge stock of that in New Mexico, and investors are taking notice.
It turns out, a law that's supposed to protect residents, just creates more barriers. Now one Santa Fe couple will lose everything.

I own and live in a small mobile home park here in California. Most of my tenants are retirees and senior citizens. I charge 350.00 dollars a month for space rent. That covers water, sewer and garbage and lawn care. My wife and I have not raised rents in over 5 years because we just can't with good conscience knowing they are struggling to make ends meet. I have had many aggressive offers to buy my park with each group selling how well they will treat our tenants. We tell them to pound sand. We may not make a lot of money off this place but we are surrounded by some of the most beautiful people in the world.
Wish we had more people like you. Thanks for being amazing.
Very Sad
This country makes me sick. Turns out that unfettered capitalism and increased income inequality is NOT sustainable. 😡
I am from Seattle, where all the mobile home parks are gone due to greed
More homeless people on the way, profit over people.
They will file a lien and take their home. Then they will bill them and rent out their home or re sell it. HUD will not help and the courts are the Mobile Home Park side. The folks buying this is from out of state usually.
You know what's crazy? The Governor signs bills for crap that most of us may never use or don't even apply to us, rather than sign a bill that keeps tenants protected such as seniors, or people with disabilities, and those in fix incomes from loosing their homes.
Should the original property (business) owner be protected? Should the new property (business) owner who bought the business and now has to pay for the business, should they be protected?
@@coffeecup3177 their the ones making money, some of us that are in low income and receiving SSI, and SSDI, and Housing, and some of us that work we can't even make that much money to live without losing our benefits, some people can't work, some of us can, but we cannot make enough money, some of us are trying to make ends meat, some of us rely help, because we're not allowed to make enough money, we want to be treated equally, we have rights too, we're humans too, we're not dogs, most of us have dreams in becoming successful, to live a better life.
@@johnlopez1496 John what does that have to do with the original owner of the business and the new owner of the business wanting to turn a profit on an investment they made. If you are on SSI or SSDI and concerned about making too much money any thought about giving up that benefit and trying to work. It is a tough decision and a constant thought you may not be succesfull but the SSA has programs that help. Good Luck
@@coffeecup3177 he’s an old man and he’s trying to say they can’t work because they are too old and if they try to work to compete with rising rent then they will lose their benefits!!
@@Weasel_NM575 If he can not afford the rising rent should he not look for alternative housing?
It's cute if you think any corporation cares about your existence let alone whether you have a home... You're nothing to them.
Your creating a category of people, with nothing to lose. At that point, those who do nothing, or the greedy, are now open season for them. You reap what you sow. Be prepared for the backlash of poor and homeless people.
I just retired and I'll be picking up and moving to New Mexico next month. I love the fact that you're station cares about such things.❤
Don’t move to crime ridden Albuquerque
@@desertmoonlight2880 my plan is to move to Gallup.
@@desertmoonlight2880Albuquerque is no worse than other cities
How do you think everyone in apartments feel
Grandfather clause is so imperative to respect when dealing with what already is.
This is happening in other states like Colorado and Arizona
They popped up like walmart Did, We call them SnowBirds. Today Homeless.
Mr. Dennis should have bought the mobile home park if he wanted to keep the rents the same. He could also have reduced the rent for nice people.
Yes my sons rent going up one works one one fixed income . They will not be able to pay new rent . I hope they are not going to be homeless
We all will these Democrat's are sinking us to steal the land for wealthy Californians
Democrat's killing Democrat's lmao
Here we go blaming political parties, each political party has humans, forget about the parties, its human greed causing this. Humans who dont care about you or me. Who cares if you are democrat or repulican or independent.
It's call corporation take over.
So, we don’t about anything? That’s the law
That's the chance you take when you get into such a situation. It's why it's called a "mobile" home park not a "permanent" home park. It looks like the former trailer is an unsafe structure anyway, not to mention a health hazard. I'm sure there are leaks everywhere and mold to go with it.
