Mobile Homeowners Unite against landlords ELS,Why are mobile home owners so against Equity Lifestyle Properties

I can tell you my own reasons which are first hand and then I can tell you about the thousands of others who have been letting me share their stories.

One of the biggest reasons for mobile home owners renting land that Equity Lifestyle Properties owns is the massive rent increases over the last year and the timing of which they came. ELS raised our rent around 8% but I was just brought to market value last year and at that time I was raised 100 dollars so in 14 months my rent went up 160 bucks.

We pay 920.00 a month to live in down yonder and long time residents say the community has withered away since Equity Lifestyle Properties took over . MHvillage is the managing division of ELS that advertises the beautiful mobile home parks in Florida and you could pick anyone on their website and you would think your in paradise but your not, you’ll soon find out your in hell. For instance Down Yonders advertisement on MHvillage website shows beautiful pictures and says come join our 55+ retirement community. Well all is not what it seems. Heres a photo of the paradise I live in.

Typical ELS property after heavy rain

Its not so much about rent increases although we feel theirs is a little excessive. Its about everything else. They lie about everything and there is zero transparency with their advertising. There wont be all kinds of events and amenities and other that a new year’s eve party and a few pancake breakfast’s there really nothing else worth talking about.

Manager is only here a couple days and for the most part ignores resident complaints and fails this community on every level.

Equity Lifestyle Properties does not do much as far as infrastructure maintenance or capital improvements. Our park Down Yonder in Largo Florida is advertised on MHvillage website as a 55+ retirement community yet our clubhouse bathrooms date back decades and are not ADA compliant nor are they senior friendly. The list goes on and on so come join us on Facebook and follow our blog

    So many great people have invested their life’s monies in Lake Fairways, Pine Lakes and others owned by Equity Lifestyles. In the 10 years I have been in this park, rents and pass thru tax fees have climbed immensely outside of the Perspectus listed information.
    However even with the huge lit rent increases, the stated quality amenities are from falling apart – to disgusting. The advertising and the realities are on opposite ends of quality and availability. Problem – most of us are stuck – can only watch our investments declining as ELS applies band-aid solutions if and when they respond to complaints. 0 programs of roads maintenance and repair, daily routine cleaning and upkeep for pristine lakes, pool, hot tub, regular restaurants open, manned security gates, etc as advertised for 55+ community “Attractions”. No pride in their parks marinas rv parks as buyers are lead to believe. Big Corp is shameful in maintaining the standard of living the Corp projects. From the year ELS purchased these 2 sister parks – the parks are visibly in rapid decline. This is a beautiful location and the prices we pay for the number of lots, should provide outstanding gorgeous amenities and programs for All the residents. We need these conditions all resolved immediately!!
