MOBILEHOME PARK SCAM ALERT
Dear Legislators, Attorneys, FBI, and the Press,
Most of Mobilehome Park Lease Agreements contain the section: “Upon any sale/transfer of the Mobilehome or assignment of the Homesite, after the beginning date of the term of this Agreement, the then-currrent rent for the Homesite may be immediately increased to the highest rent then charged for any single Homesite in the Community or by up to 10%, whichever is higher.”
It definitely is a scam as a condition of approval for residency. Consequently, a Mobilehome cannot be resold 4 times, because the rent of space will be higher than the rent of an apartment/house. At 10th re-sale the rent will be increased up to 259% based on the formula: rent *1.1 or rent * (1 + 10%). In fact, the Park Owners steal the value of the mobilehome and commit unjust enrichment. Park Owners do nothing, lose nothing, exchange nothing, service nothing but gain 10% unjustly for every month, year by year, increasing forever.
I believe that all of the Park Owners around the nation employ this unfair practice without regard to the U.S., States, and Local Government Law. Also It may be the case that the Park Owners act as the con artists to lure people. You can see and understand the scam as well as its serious consequences on a real case at: http://www.tranlich.com/mobilehome/
This is of State Wide significance, please investigate this matter and you will recognize this unfair practice. Change is needed to enforce the US Law, and to initiate action against these con artists on behalf of all US Citizens and consumer’s interests.
Respectfully,

ReplyDeleteThe higher the space rent the lower the value of the mobilehome. As the space rent rises up to $1100 per month, the mobile cannot be resold. At $1500, mobilehome owners will abandon the house and the park owner will acquire the house. Then the park owners will sell the mobilehome to a new owner with new rent of $700. Then the circle of unfair and unethical practice repeated forever.
Park owners increase rent on each sale/transfer up to 10%. It causes the rent rise up to 259% for the 10th resale. In addition to increasing rent on sale, the park owners increase rent annually by 5%. It is the same as lending a mortgage loan 5%, 30 years fixed. It is 30 years because the mobilehome owner will abandon their house sooner or later. Still, park owners do not give a penny for this annual increase. To understand this evil scam, compare to the minimum payment by government or your salary increase based on inflation, or the price of the house increase in the market.
By restricting sublease, California Mobilehome Resident Law kills the property right of the homeowners and supports the park owners to steal the value and to rob the mobilehome . The lawmakers mistakenly treat the mobilehome owner as a tenant who has no property and have to rent an apartment.
To run away the potential punishment for this evil scam the park owners sell their park that require eviction all of the mobilehome.
It is the injustice that American cannot tolerate. www.mscam.org

ReplyDeleteI really do not want to replace Park Manager for a new person. I do not want her to have to pay $2000 for each violation.(798.86 MANAGEMENT PENALTY FOR WILLFUL VIOLATION)
Still, I believe that all Mobilehome Owners in the United States want:
1) A reasonable contract that has no condition, no fee, no increase on current rent when they resale their Mobile home.
2) Mobile home owners should be able to sell/rent their Mobile home as easily as selling/renting a car/a house/a property.
3) To have reasonable rent such as to rent a parking lot /space plus some additional expenses.
4) A reasonable annual rent increase/decrease based on inflation/deflation
5) No rent discrimination
6) Removing a mobilehome (798.73) should be based on the condition and the improvement of the house, not on the year it was built.
7) Subleasing without medical requirement (798.23.5)should be allowed to prevent the park owners attempt unfairly and unethically to acquire the abandoned mobilehome after stealing its value by increasing excessive rent. Mobile home owners should have the right to rent on their house property as park owners have the right to rent on their land property.
8) Selling a mobilehome park should be judged on the Detrimental Reliance/Estoppel doctrine because no one wants to buy a mobilehome in order to live in for only a couple of years.

ReplyDeleteThis is a real case of selling a mobile home at Sandalwood 507 S. Euclid St. Santa Ana, California 92704
The house could not be sold for $35,000 because the space rent was over $1000/month. Instead of abandoning the house, the mobile home owner sold the house to Park Owner for only $15,000. Then the park owner improved the house a little bit with new paint and new carpet; and then re-sold the house to a new buyer for $45,000 with a new space rent of $595/month. Call 714-363-1195 for detail if you want to sell your mobile home in such a way at Sandal Wood.
Is it wrong, unfair, unethical, injustice, evil? We want the answer from the Government. Still, we see the reasonable space rent of $595/month. We want the park owners to reduce all of the current over-charged space rent down to $595/month and pay back the unjust enrichment.
NOTE: You must look for a new buyer to do such selling. Tell them your home is value at $45000, you give the park owner $30,000 to reduce the space rent from over $1000 down to $595/month

It is state wide problem, the problem of the imperfect law. It is the duty of Legislators, FBI and States.
ReplyDeleteAsk the State to investigate this fraudulent, unjust enrichment, this is a trap from con artists. How big really are their profits? How they spend their money? How they pay taxes? and bring them to justice. It is the State jobs to discover the criminals.
You don't have to do anything. You do not have to hire a lawyer. You do not have to investigate the problem. It is the duty of the Legislators and State. What should you do? Ask Legislators, General Attorneys and State to do their jobs by sending them your messages. And notice the Press.
Your local city or county can create a Mobile Home Rent Control and Mobile Home Rent Control Ordinance. Make a research on the web to see how. Yet, your local city including council and general attorney, may be bought by the Park Owners. As the mobile home law was made by mobile home Park Owners you cannot bring Park Owners to justice. You should make the Park Owners' law invalid or prove it violate fairness first before you can sue them. Protest the injustice law is better than buying gun and waiting for a chance to shoot criminal.
