Yeah but HUD should have to pay the owner REAL value of that property. Then HUD should hold the financing for these people to buy their lot. The government has programs for loans.

Best advice for people living in trailer parks like this is simple. Do the work to set up the park as a non-profit housing situation. Form a not for profit corporation owned by the residents to run the property. Im pretty sure most places will have government agencies to help with the process. Run as a cooperative housing corporation, residents own equal shares in the entire property, and those shares give them exclusive use of their plots. The land rent they are paying is likeky more than the cost of such communal ownership.

[@60sbaby608]

My landlord sold the house I had been living in for years without any warning whatsoever. Didn't even say he was thinking of selling it. He took my rent from my hand, then handed me a letter saying he had sold the house and how long I had to find a place and get out. I was hysterical and crying and told him to give me my rent money back since he took it from me not even owning the house anymore, and he wouldn't give it back to me. At this point I had 25 days to leave and didn't have any money since I'm on social security disability. I was renting through hud and called my worker to tell what happened and all she said was "well that's a shame " And said something about he had his papers signed right. Wtf does that even mean? I tried to get help from hud with moving, they're supposed to have some kind of displacement allowance and they wouldn't even talk to me about it. This happened when the virus hit and everything started shutting down including realtors and landlords being allowed to rent or show homes. So me and my son were in a very bad situation. The ones who bought the house wanted us out so they could fix it up and sell it, they were somewhat sympathetic to the situation and even told us they had been telling my landlord he needed to let us know he was selling it and I realized he didn't so that we wouldn't tell them all the stuff wrong with it to get a higher price. He had brought these two guys into the house twice in about 4 months or so and told us they were his home owner insurance guys that had to do a few inspections to adjust his insurance. We had made sure the house was picked up and looked nice when the landlord called explaining this to me about them coming over so we had no idea they were actually buyers. They even took pictures which later we found online with the listing for the house for sale. My son was in a few of those pictures and he was furious. About a couple weeks later my landlord showed up at the door asking if I'd found a place to go. So this is when everyone had just been ordered to quarantine because of covid. So he stood there telling me he hated how everything went and said he had a place we could move into. I tried so hard to find a place somewhere, anywhere else but everything was shut down. The guys who bought the house were pressuring me, hud was pressuring me ( and not offering any kind of help to move)so we were basically forced to move into another house by this same landlord I wanted nothing to do with anymore. We had to borrow the money for a u haul to move our stuff and the stimulus checks that came out had to pay for deposits and utilities getting turned on and pay back the uhaul money. It's been a nightmare and the same landlord went on to destroy our car with his riding lawnmower, he let the roof leak for a year and a half. We had to empty buckets they had placed in the attic everytime it rained. No we haven't said anything to anyone because being homeless is not an option, my son is diabetic and I have a disability so it's been awful but just trying to fight through the depression that is overwhelming sometimes. I wish I could win the lottery, I would help so many people right now who are suffering from the rents being raised across the country. I know that there are so many wondering what to do and I'm just saying we know what that feels like, not knowing what to do or where to turn.

You are welcome to buy as many homes, apartment buildings, or mobile home parks as you like and run them as a charity, but others are not obligated to do that. If people did not invest in rental housing, there would not be any homes to rent. You would have to buy, and many people do not have the credit scores necessary to purchase their own home so they need to rent. Our nation is blessed to have people who choose to invest in rental properties. They are usually much better maintained than public housing, which historically speaking, the government did not maintain public housing, and they became slums. Medical professionals that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars for the education needed to get their medical licenses are not going to work for free so hospitals are all for profit, even if they claim to be a nonprofit.

Look into it. depends on your state, but I believe they have to give you compensation for your homes, also if they bought the park under the pretext of building something better you should get sompensation for that broken promise/contract. Time to get a lawyer.

[@Jenny-dg4sb]

No contract with the tenants has been broken. The leases are month to month, and the landlord gave them three months (90 days) to move. A month to month lease means that both the tenant and the landlord are committed to the lease for the month. The tenant can decide to leave and the landlord can't prevent it, and likewise, the tenant has to leave when the landlord terminates the month to month lease. The law in that city says the landlord has to give the tenant 90 days to move the home. The landlord gave the 90 days. It is sad (even tragic) for the tenants, but all rental contracts are for a specific amount of time. The tenants do not have a legal right to stay forever, even when it is difficult for them to move. A lawyer can't help them with this. The lawyer might get them 30 to 60 more days, but they will have to move. It is inevitable.

The last 3 years, the family owned park I live in has raised the lot rent $200 a month. $500 for singlewides, and $600 for doublewides, and that doesn't include water, that cost extra, and is billed by a company in another state. Its a large park with 320 lots. My guess is 95 percent occupancy. That's over $150,000 a month. Out of curiosity, I looked up what they paid in property tax this year on the park. It was just was slightly over $115,000. That's less than what they get in one months rent. The same family owns several apartment buildings too, and the last couple of years they have been selling mobile homes as well as renting lots. They're rolling in $. Some members of the family are listed as 'managers'. I've never seen one in the park. Unless one day when I was mowing the grass (yes residents are required to do their own yard work), the blonde that drove by in the white Mercedes was a member of the family. My advice to anyone considering buying a mobile home and putting it in a park. DON'T DO IT! Rent an apartment, and try to save for a house or condo, or a few acres in the country. My conclusion about the family that owns the park I live in, is that they want to maintain/increase their lifestyle, even if it means the quality of my life takes a hit.

[@BeAConservative]

It is the fault of the mom and pops who are selling. Greed.

[@Jenny-dg4sb]

No, not greed. Financial need for the mom and pop, or maybe the mom and pop died. This is tragic for the tenants, but everyone who rents should know that no rental lasts forever, just as the owner can't make them stay forever.

[@rosesmith6208]

always while your working and do well, please buy your land and house whether it is a trailor or tiny home or house on some land that is in a cheap area, where the property taxes are fairly cheap, people get to comfortable with cheap rent and when it goes up or someone buys the property your stuck. we paid this off many years ago it is still a money pit yes but you have to live somewhere, we keep a savings, my hubby planned well in advance, what I dont understand cant they just get new leases and raise the rent a bit or what is the purpose o buying it up?

[@Jenny-dg4sb]

More than likely, the new owner wants to upgrade the community with newer mobile homes, or else, they are planning to close the mobile home park and redevelop the land for another purpose, such as building apartments, a shopping center, or a business park.

[@AnnaBrown-h4e]

I have seen so many of these lately. They park owners should have to pay for moveing those trailors or pay them the going rates to relocate!!! Then good luck finding a mover, there are very few!!

[@angelaw9476]

It's amazing that people aren't making hateful comments. These people aren't being called lazy, uneducated, refusing to work, bad parents, trailer park drug addicts. Wake up America these are the faces of the poor and no it's not who society tries to tell you it is.

What’s the problem, if the owner of the property wants you gone so he can sell or do something with his property then shut up and move❗️

[@JobyJoby-iw2wr]

This is one of those rare times where government needs to take decisive action on behalf of the tenants.....

[@TheGrwhi065]

Government should take the park via imminent domain and put it under HUD.

[@dcg590]

Look what happens every time the government gets involved. They screwed landlords over big time. This is a private business government has zero business getting involved. Is it sad? Yes, but these people have been there for generations? Generations? And no one tried to do better? Not once? And they knew this could happen when they signed the lease. Owners are not obligated to what someone else wants

[@josephd2059]

The government is part of the problem, they will get more in tax revenue if the owner develops something bigger.

It's a scam that's been going on the past fee years. The former owner of the land sells it and the new owner gives you the choice of Either moving your trailer or selling it to the park owner and pay at least three times as much as you use to pay.

It's predatory! It's wrong? It's theft! It's criminal! Look at the big picture here! Do the math. Price of the park? Price of rent? Number of renters? Just because it's a mobile home doesn't mean you can just hook up and move!

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

30 to 40 years renting the land is insane. Could they not work and buy a house when property was so cheap and easy to qualify for? I bought my house in 1994 for the same I paid in apartment rent. When you rent you have little voice.

[@sfranklin75]

Who would have expected corporate greed to come for trailer parks?

[@UncleDavesKitchen]

@@sfranklin75 The ground is leveled, it's zoned for family dwellings, it has the infrastructure already in place. It's perfect property to snap up and be ready to build on. Developing land for building can take years and millions in the infrastructure, trailer parks are already done.

Guess what people? You as a tax payer is going to be subsidizing for every one of these folks! And it's not pretty. An apartment or house for each family... One for Grandma,one for her son and his family(under 18) then for each other member who's over 18! So when there was 1 trailer ($900 month) Now there's $5k-$8,000 monthly! But hey, let's go ahead and blame Brandon.... Whenold Mr T was here before that! We got evicted from a mobile home park in Southern Indiana about 2 years ago... I did some research on the owner and it's a corporation in Ohio that gets HUD loans to buy these MHP's! They've bought up every MHP in Vanderburgh, Posey and Warwick county Indiana! They've gotten a blanket across the entire area & once you're on the list then you are screwed! I'm on SSDI & get $1400 month. So how can anyone afford to buy their own land, mobile home & utilities? And also be able to eat, meds, car, insurance and other stuff? Don't say Biden did it! Good Ol' boy Trump was in office(when we moved in) & my monthly income has gone up maybe 15%. But what has happened to the economy? Can't buy land for a mobile home either! Most cities & counties have put restrictions on any manufactured homes.

Why not blame Brandon he blames Trump for everything. Trump 2024.!!! if we make it to the election. But seriously this is happening all over now because they don’t want people to own anything even if it’s a crappy trailer or mobile home. it’s infuriating when they send money overseas.
