Vista del Monte Mobile Home Rent Increases
Summary
Residents of the 130-space senior mobile home park say rents jumped after an out-of-state corporation bought the park — 18% for existing tenants, $885/month for new ones — and many fixed-income seniors can't keep up. They asked the council for a rent stabilization ordinance; the council instead directed staff to gather data and meet with both sides, worried a fair-return analysis could actually justify higher rents.
