People should be aware of the latest retiree deal in Florida.Many RV parks now offer for sale or owner resale of Mobile Homes in the RV Parks.You own the home but the park owns the property. We purchased one of these thinking it would be a great retirement deal. NOT! We have been here for 3 1/2 years and have seen the rent increase by a minimum of Two hundred forty dollars per year in addition to $175 a year for mowing. We pay $20 per month for trash pickup while the RV section does not pay for this or for mowing although they require mowing every time we are mowed and they generate as much trash.They also pay less per month for lot rent even though they may live there year round. We also have encountered discriminatory rule enforcement. Such as lots beside us with no paved drives or pads and autos, trucks, boats and utility trailers allowed parked on the grass, yet we are threatened if we move our autos onto the grass to move a vehicle around. We have been threatened for having our motor home parked in our driveway for two or three days getting ready for a trip. Our park had just finished a new addition and failed to make room for vehicle storage which was always provided and promised before now we are being told we have to move our extra vehicles to a rural farm for unsecured storage. Be aware that when you buy a home on somebody else's land you are at their mercy and their whim. Even anything in writing is subject being changed. We even have wild Peacocks and peahens, which carry "Bird Flu" virus and go on everything even our cars. We have complained about them and had nothing done about them. They are classified as a Nuisance animal and non protected by Fish and Game, told to kill them by the sheriffs office or trap them yet the management refuses to do anything. We are looking at trying to sell our place and move to a home where we own the property. Enough is enough.
