We received your letter
dated
You said that in order to
accept a rental agreement, the prospective homeowner must accept your increase
rent up to 10%, from $896.01 up to $985.61, an increase of $89.60.
Consequently:
1) 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%).

2) The Government will lose Sale Tax. The Mobilehome is
no longer an asset or property because it lacks of the ability to resale/transfer
unlimitedly. No one can live in a
mobilehome with such rent, even if you give the mobilehome as a gift.
3) This unjustly enrichment causes rent discrimination
in the park.
4) Since Mobilehome owners cannot sell, or sublease this
prevents them from moving out of your park.
They feel angry and frustrated.
Your park becomes a hostile and dangerous environment. It is contrary to
the purpose of MRL-2009 and Article 7 which is to create peace and to prevent
the Park Owners from locking/imprisonment the Mobilehome Owners.
The increase rent of 10%
definitely is a condition of approval for residency in your park. You
lose/exchange/service nothing for the transfer, but gain 10% unjustly. Your contract shows the unqualified
acceptance. Your unjust enrichment is
too high, higher than property tax and sale tax. It takes money unjustly from
the Homeowners month by month, year by year, increasing forever. It secretly takes/abuses
the compensation for House/Apartment depreciation to replace/hide the advantage
of Land/Space appreciation. It kills the
American mobilehome lifestyle. It causes
hostility and dangerous living conditions and gives the reason for the rise of
terrorism and communism. That is why there
have been several negative incidents in
SandalWood. What happens in the future,
when a Natural disaster happens like a
big earth quake or big storm like Katrina, we can predict what negative implications
would happen within the park property.
In addition to 10% unjustly increase as a condition
for rental approval; we believe your miscalculation for rent space is a misrepresentation
of the law for the rent of a house/apartment to the law for the rent of
space/land; even though the land has not depreciated its value as would a
house/apartment. In November 2008 our space rent was $850. 01. You increased up to $896.01, an increase of
$45.91. This was not based on inflation
or National Consumer Price Index. We
would like you to explain in writing how
you came up with this increase of $45.91 for the rent.
Because your unjustly
enrichment in Transfer and Rent affect 182 Mobilehome Onwers in Sandal Wood, we
will ask other victims to join us to study this matter. We also believe the 10 pages of Mobile Home
Lease Agreement is incomplete and unfair to replace the 85 pages of MRL-2009. Your contract is a product of a con artist.
As State Wide significant, in
order to perfect Mobilehome Residency Law and to protect other citizen from
such unfair practice, we will report to City, County, State, Legislators,
Congress, and HCD.
We will exercise our rights
stated in Section 798.25.5 VOID RULES
Any rule or
regulation of a mobilehome park that (a) is unilaterally adopted by the
management, (b) is implemented without the consent of the homeowners, and (c)
by its terms purports to deny homeowners their right to a trial by jury or
which would mandate binding arbitration of any dispute between the management
and homeowners shall be void and unenforceable.
Sincerely,
