Mobile home rental lots increase in price in Florida

What was once a more affordable way of living is now in jeopardy.
Some mobile homeowners in Central Florida told News 6 that the amount they pay to rent their lots is increasing so much that it’s pricing them out of their homes and preventing them from selling them, too.

$1,100 - $1,500 for lot rent is absolutely unjustifiable.

[@drcarriemills8772]

Same in AZ. My coworker who is now 75yrs owns her mobile home and now is paying $1100 for the lot. That was a good idea 10yrs ago but now who knew lot rent would go up so ridiculously high. I was planning on moving into an affordable senior apartment but the wait list is over 100. One person has been #11 on the list for 3yrs since worse case needing a home gets moved up and bumps others. 🤷

Investors see this as a cash cow because you can not just move out if you don't like the rent increase. We had a Florida Mobile Home Investment company try to buy our park in MA. We saw what they are doing. In MA, the residents have the first right of refusal to buy the park and have it resident owned. In our case the lot rent when up $200 a month when we bought the park with the help of a Non-Profit that does this for a living. Since we own the park, the value of our homes have sky rocketed because now the cost are controlled.

My mobile home is on rural acreage (paid cash, land included, with a pole barn on the property). Planned ahead and bought it years ago (well before prices went crazy) to be my retirement home, then sold my 2 story site built house in a city, after I retired and moved. My property tax went up $33.00 last year, so I now pay $709. for the year. I live in Osceola county, but it's Osceola county, MI. Before everyone goes on about the weather (I don't shovel snow, I pay a plow guy), if you're going to be, or are on a fixed income, you won't be able to afford to pay what the cost is for that weather. Why anyone would think that living in a state, where hundreds of thousands of people move to retire, because of the weather, would be an affordable option for the future, is shortsighted, to say the least. BTW, no one in these comment's has any idea what that park is paying in taxes, insurance, payroll, contractor's, and upkeep. There are thousands of retired site built homeowner's right now, who own their property outright in FL, and can no longer afford their taxes and insurance. Personally, I don't want to ever be in that position, and by living where I live, I won't be.

They are a great investment for the owners as they can jack up the rates and steal the homes by making them unmovable, which is how it truly is because the cost to move one is also very expensive. Apartments are terrible too, but at least your not in over you head and can move more easily. We should develop laws that make what owners of both of these more restricted in how they go about raising the price. The rich are getting richer, and the middle class is becoming the new poor, while the poor is becoming homeless!

I’ve noticed the post-pandemic lot rent increases with mobile homes and the HOA fees on condos and townhomes are almost half the mortgage payment now in some areas. The said thing is that these fees don’t seem to result in any better amenities, activities or service for the residents.

I wonder if the land owners are also experiencing hikes in property taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. I really wish news companies/reporters would DO THEIR JOBS and report on the big picture and not just a one-sided story. Its easy to say rates are increasing, but WHY? What are the factors contributing to the issue?

[@karenkramer3760]

Yes! Agree 100%

If you can buy your own land and get out of the land rentals do it as fast as you can. Make sure the land you purchase will will be deemed a suitable place for your Mobile home and there are no deed restrictions, and get approvals by the building department in the city or town your going to move too. Then vacate the mobile home park with your mobile home and leave them empty handed. The funny part they won't get the land rental amount they once started with and everyone should avoid these greedy scumbags. I am a retired Realtor and don't see any sense in their practice. They will now have land that isn't bringing in any money at all. They would wished they never started increasing the price of the land rental in the first place. So Buyers should look at an alternative and HOAs are not where it is at these days either. Boycotting these corps is a great start to freedom. Greed gets you nowhere!!!!

A lot of investors bought up trailer park and jacked up the price since covid

[@brendaross7955]

This is greed for lot rent and rent apt

I own a home in Massachusetts and considering moving to Florida into a nice double wide but I will not pay for a lot fee over 800

[@elliottring1573]

Good luck to you.

[@naturelover2292]

Oh yes you will if you live on a mobile home park. Better to just visit and leave. I don’t get the obsession with so many people uprooting their lives to move to a state that will eventually put you in the poor house. A few months visit if you are retired is just as good

Find out what the house of the property owner looks like. Probably two people living in a gated community.

I was going to buy a manufactured home last year. I looked into the lot rents first and saw they started at $900. I than was looking into buying the land. I decided to rent instead when I was given insurance prices and told it would double/triple ……. So many evictions, seniors homelessness, food prices going up it’s insane.

[@jameshoward1215]

Rent a mobile home spot should be temporary until you buy your own land to put your mobile home on. They are ripping people off greed for money and they'll never get enough

[@yourgooglemeister6745]

Unit property taxes and property insurance is reigned in nothing will improve

[@helenrivera149]

People from NY bought our mobile home park lot rent double and don't fix nothing

[@TommyTomTompkins]

Schenectady?

[@aliannarodriguez1581]

It wasn’t a corporation? Investment funds have bought a lot of parks.

Desantis does nothing about the greedy landlords stealing from the poor !! Goes to show you what that desantis is all about.. he is not so great after all

[@Bocar78308]

In south east Ga, 1100 square foot new condo with lots of amenities and two huge pools with waterfalls , park , and direct in the city 1320.00 . Grand View Apartments in Thomasville Ga . I almost bought a mobile home before recently moving here and putting a park, but I did my research and I was like hell no. Unless you own your own land, never purchase a mobile home, you are better off renting a home !!!!

[@marczorzi1607]

Stop screwing over the people. WTF.

[@MrBrownnn696]

That’s a mobile park ?

[@isartoraplatz]

Disgraceful… all senior citizens were DeSantis’???
