Say No to Equity Lifestyle Properties and myMHcommunity and buy your mobile home somewhere else

Equity lifestyle properties otherwise known as ELS are mobile home park slumlords who have purchased many older mobile home parks with deteriorating infrastructures and aging homes. They tell their shareholders they buy distressed mobile home parks and bring them back to life but what they really do is come in, raise the lot rents and cut back on office staff and maintenance. They force those that are barely making ends meet into forfeiting their homes to avoid eviction if they fall behind on their rent.

Equity lifestyle properties will take your home if you can’t afford to pay your rent anymore and they will either sell it , rent it or take it down so they can bring in another 170,000 mobile home that they will finance to you plus you still have to pay the land rent. On the backside of this is that the homes that are here now, even the well maintained homes are only selling for 30 k and I don’t care what you say but its the high lot rent and overwhelming amount of people who are selling right now to get away from these corporate pigs that is driving the stalled market and lack of sales,which in turn causes mobile home prices to decline .

We are being held hostage. The only ones that win are these corporate fat cats that have ruined every property they have purchased so SAY NO to Equity Lifestyle Properties and buy your next mobile home from somebody else.

  1. I live at Shangri La MHP. I’ve been here 18 years & so far this is the worse I’ve ever seen it. Maria Lugo so called manager & Doug Jefferies so called Regional Manager do absolutely nothing to make it better here. We have an abandoned home that’s been here for the 18 years that they filled with trash, garbage, old tires & then some. I put in a complaint with code enforcement & the abatement department but even though it’s filled with asbestos & had dead animals in there it’s not being removed. I am the VP of the HOA & have sent several emails to them about complaints that residents give me, it’s been three weeks & all I get is an automated response “ thanks we’ll look into this “ which they never do. We’ve had no lights on the paths from street to street for over 7 years which is dangerous when walking at night , pot holes , no amenities other than the pool & no on site management but maybe one day a week if that & they never answer the phone or the mailbox is full, same with the emergency number. They’re bullying people that want to sell their homes to either give them back to the park or let Maria sell it for $2500 + 6% of whatever they’re asking for it. Most end up just giving them back the home & taking the loss , while she’s padding her pocket. As it stands now there are probably more renters here than homeowners.
    Maria Lugo is a realtor as well as a manager, which is a conflict of interest. She put a huge sign on the so called Golf Course in two languages saying people should let her sell their homes, when in reality she’s stealing it out from under them.
    She threatened to have an 88 year old long time resident who was in a wheelchair arrested if she didn’t get out of her office because she didn’t wanna answer a question she had. Another long time resident who’s 97 wanted to ask her a question & she was standing in the doorway of the office & told her she couldn’t talk to her because she was on her lunch break. She was eating popcorn (all the time & talks to people with her mouth full ) & when the 97 year old said “ can I get a pen & paper to write what I want to know “ Maria with the hand she had in the popcorn bag proceeded to take her hand , rub it on the woman’s face & say “ OMG your skin is so beautiful for your age. Meanwhile wiping butter on her face. I sent a complaint to corporate about what she did to both women & they who told her it was me, which was supposed to be anonymous, so now I’m banned from the office saying I’m a threat …lol
