Location: Illinois, USA So recently I received the rent increase for the lot my mobile home sits on. It's located in a park, owned by a management company that owns multiple parks throughout the state, my park alone has at least 150 houses just to give you an idea how much this management company makes per month. Not only have they increased the "base rent" 50$, but they also stated they are no longer including water and trash in our "base lot rent" anymore. That's not too surprising because it's been written in the lease for years they can just one day decide to make us start paying for those utilities. Fine, whatever. What gets me is they're making us tenants also pay "our" portion of the property tax for our lot OUTSIDE of our "base" lot rent. Based on my understanding, they can increase lot rent to cover the cost of property tax, but they can't make us pay for the property tax. How accurate is that information? Is it reasonable to ask for information about what our rent is going towards since lot rent no longer includes utilities and apperently the taxes? Do we have more freedom over the land to do what we wish regardless what's in the lease because we now pay for the property tax? Do we have more freedom to do whatever we want to the outside of our house now because we not only own the house but also pay the property tax for the land? Lot rent is almost 800$ per month and we may be have 2000 square feet of land if we're lucky. My neighbor's are talking about sueing but I can almost guarantee that this is to weed out those of us still in older mobile homes so they can bring the 100k houses they're trying to sell. Problem is they won't even allow us to move our trailers off the lot either, so it's not like I could pay to move my trailer to a different lot that I own or even a different park. They won't buy our houses from us. They just want to fight us in eviction court so they can tear down our houses and put in these brand new ones. They've raised rent almost 300% in the past 25 years, 75% over the past 4 years I've personally lived here. Like is there any action we can all take as a community? Or are we forced to sign the addendum to the lease and call it a day?
