Equity Lifestyle Properties and Mobil Home owners miles apart when it come to maintaining their properties

Equity Lifestyle Properties is a real estate investment company specializing in buying and running mobil home parks across the country and especially in Florida. Since their takeover mobil home owners throughout the state of Florida have been unsatisfied with their performance when it comes to maintaining the mobil home parks they own. They have raised rents continuously and have cut back on services and staff .

Everyone expects rent increases but increasing rent and cutting back on everything else is a double whammy. “Our mobil home park was a beautiful retirement community before they came in, we had at least two maintenance guys a full time manager and wonderful neighbors “ says Sandra from Clearwater but thats all gone. The maintenance guys do nothing really and they hire sub contractors to fix everything and that cost flows over to us. What was once a 55+ retirement community is now a all ages mobil home park and residents want to know how Equity Lifestyle Properties in Florida were able to do this without consulting with its residents.

There are laws in Florida to protect mobil home owners and their rights and the Division of Condominiums Timeshares and Mobil Homes is that agency. Located in Tallahassee the DPBR is supposed to inforce violations when there are complaints but not every mobil home owner in Florida is aware of this so we are going to try and educate them and help whoever needs it to file the proper complaints. Its not easy to fight a big real estate company, lawyers are expensive and it takes a lit of time so we’re going to try a different way. Social media is a tool that can be used to voice our opinion and to let not only Equity Lifestyle Properties how we feel but their stockholders as well. We will be promoting our blogs through our Facebook page Homeowners Against ELS and our blogs which are written through our website Homeownersagainstequitylifestyleproperties.com and through our Facebook group We The People Getting Screwed By Equity Lifestyle Properties. Come and join us. We need more bloggers and staff to collect info that we can write about and post on Facebook Twitter and anywhere else. Our advertising campaign on Facebook will be starting sometime in February and we expect to reach a much broader audience so if you aren’t getting our blogs sent directly to you then join us now!
