  2. I am former & illegally evicted homeowner resident at Tropical Palms. Identified as the Whistle blower regarding the innumerable lies, fraud, misappropriation, tenant abuse, tenant intimidation veritable acts of retribution by the entire ELS network. Have recruited dozens of neighbors to join the Heritage class action lawsuit. Discovered overwhelming majority of feckless HOA board & even Neighborhood Watch power mongering volunteers Barbara Feder & Lynn Cohen ignorantly assisted in mismanagement coverups, gaslighting & smear campaign initiatives. Was subjected to threats, property destruction, property theft, harassment, dead animals & dog feces being thrown onto my carport by a malicious minority of Tropical Palms residents loyal to last 4 managerment teams. Most egregious actions were in support of Kimberly Lemmon and even the most recent manager Tiki Bacca. A coordinated smear campaign target me in efforts to silence me. Gaslighting endeavors & threats were prolific & so profound it became necessary for me to carry pepper spray, tazer, pellet gun for safety. During Irma & Ian I was recognized as a hero to majority of fellow neighbors. Have dozens of testimonials from the most respected long time residents. Due to health concerns, I have not been able to protect & advocate for neighbors as much as I would like to continue doing. The complaint filed in the Heritage class action suit mirrors the atrocities Teopical Palms residents continue to endure. Have put videos on YouTube exposing raw sewage flowing into the canals weaving thru the park. Instead of checking on the safety & well being of resident’s the first act & concern of park managers after hurricanes was to conceal the flowing sewerage areas from public view to minimize liability. Ms. Lemmon knowingly sold an ELS owned home that had a propensity to constantly flood, where duct work ventilation & a/c units were destroyed which she purposely failed to disclose the home defects. Unit in 133 (across from my unit 132) for several years was without roofing causing toxic black mold to grow in nearly all interior walls. Rather than safely repair, Ms. Lemmon directed the contractor to simply hide the black mold from view by quickly covering with new drywall & to heavily spray with air freshener to conceal the mold smell. After I openly disclosed her actions where I felt she created a health hazard & committed fraud, Kim & her assistant Susan on behalf of ELS accelerated their retribution against me. With subsequent eviction proceedings, management and ELS now suggest that my continued advocacy for my neighbors and my public denouncements are motivated by my being just a disgruntled former resident. Many former neighbors, who remain loyal friends have often suggested that those exhibiting the most vitriol & violence towards me was their response to simply seeing my attire which usually displayed Pro Democracy/Pro America Anti Trump graphics! I have literally hundreds if not thousands of texts & emails where I addressed many of the despicable issues & conditions facing not only Tropical Palms residents, but including the likely tens of thousands of other victims under ELS corporate thumbs, currently & previously residing in the hundreds of other Equity Lifestyle Properties across the nation. I will gladly provide and/or post all acccumulated horrorspondence, er… I mean correspondence on this subject matter to all interested parties, including other local, national & global media sources who are likewise concerned and tired of getting screwed, abused & witnessing lives being destroyed by greedy soulless corporate giants like Equity Lifestyle Properties.

  3. I was delighted to read of efforts to get ELS to rescind the outrageous eviction notices to fellow abused ELS residents who already suffered so much devastation from hurricane Milton.

    I too have known what it is like to face the loss, destruction and mess from a hurricane. For us it was hurricane Ian. Our ELS owned park is on the outskirts of Punta Gorda. We remain without the website ‘advertised’ gated entry now for over two years. Every excuse and then some has been used for this to not be repaired. The continual theft and those not members of our community wandering in has been a challenge. We have gone through differing ELS managers and been also weeks without one. We are without a pool now, to do resurfacing repairs ‘supposedly’ for another chunk of time. Perhaps the biggest issue is with our decaying infrastructure, with water main breakage, boil water notices all on a continual basis. US Water has laid out a 3 step plan to do the much needed repairs but to no avail. Our HOA has buried their heads in the sand to these issues, preferring to spend money and time on dances, cookouts, events than to commit to legal help. Is our HOA or community members overwhelmed, expecting ELS will take care of these issues, or just poorly equipped to handle our owners? I don’t know. This past winter 2024 ELS changed the prospectus in our park but did so in an appallingly poorly crossed out, printed over, insulting and rambling document. As a former educator if something like this was handed in I would have called it a rough draft and definitely not something to send out in mass to anyone! ELS appears to have no shame plus I noticed many community members didn’t see the insult behind this prospectus document.

    ELS has been given carte blanche to badger, extort and defeat their communities and not have a care for how, when, where, who and why they do it. This is a mega corporation that has gone to an extreme level of brutality and been allowed to do so unchecked. When Sam Zell died (May 2023) I expected to see some glitches in the operation of ELS as the estate settled out. Now this overzealous lack of concern for those who live in ELS parks are rewarded with little to nothing but they do get ever increasing lot fees, and for some, eviction notices. You would hope there would be a care factor. One can’t expect this from the machinations of such a large organization allowed to tamp down on people in their communities with a continual disregard for humanity and continued abuse of those neither financially or otherwise equipped to compete with ELS.

    I have been a part of the Facebook group, ‘We the People getting screwed by Equity Lifestyle Properties’ for over a year now. There is no ‘equity’ to anything being done in the ELS communities across the USA. It was suggested on this FB site to contact you regarding the appalling situation so many are now living in. For some this is hell on earth and no escape. These are the downtrodden who face daily ELS lies, expectations and bullying as consumer victims. I for one am sickened by this and as a resident in an ELS park for a decade I have seen firsthand the decline and broken promises within the community and the lack of care ELS has for those who like me continue to pay more for very little except further mistreatment.

    I am but one of many voices who are trying to stand up to ELS. Unfortunately, united we stand, divided we fall and thus the rub in many of our communities. Frivolous social events at least in my community seem to take precedence over the much needed organization to fight for survival. I suspect ELS has undermined the HOA boards in many of their communities and lulled them into complacency like I see in our park. This divisiveness has manufactured distrust of each other too. However, all of us are quickly falling into the ELS driven abyss!
