Unfair Rent Increases
GIVE YOURSELF A VOICE
Dear Neighbors
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Steven Cox. I have been living in the community for the last 13 years. Like many of you I was very shocked to see the notice of another increase in rent. I have spoken to many of you already and had the opportunity to hear your opinion on how the rent increases are just not fair. As everyone in the park is already aware, the park did sell to a new owner whom we have not met yet. I feel that maybe this owner does not realize the impact he is having on the people in his park with these extreme rent increases. I am an AC technician and with this job it brings me a lot of opportunities to meet new people indifferent expertise of the law. after I've communicated a couple of my concerns about the rent increases and how it is affected a lot of the people in our park. Many of them have advised me that there's not a whole lot we can do legally about the rent increase. However, they did inform me that we can try to make a plea with the owner to give him a better understanding of how this is affecting everyone in his park. I have also spoken to two of my clients that happened to work for fox 4 News and NBC5. They both have advised me before involving the media to make a plead to the owner And try to get him to understand the devastation he is causing many of the families in the mobile Home Park. If we were unable to have the owner listen to our concerns or come to an understanding that they would be more than happy to help us bring awareness of the situation that is happening to us in this park. After speaking to my wife and bringing my concerns to some of my clients that work in different areas of the law. We decided that it would be a great opportunity to start this petition to give our neighbors a voice. We want all our neighbor’s to have the opportunity of being able to have their voice heard. Below you will see a note that I have attached to the current owner, and I believe the investment group of the park. If you feel that my words are true, please sign below if you would like to leave a comment you are able to do so and if you have any questions, please reach out to me thank you for listening.
Thank You
Steven Cox

Dear
Mr. Zulejkic & CH Realty IX-FS Mhc Denton Woodhaven LP,
I would like to first start off by thanking you for all the improvements that you are making in the community. After several years of having no improvements being made within our park. Seeing the improvements made to the parking spaces, roads and the addition of the pool are greatly appreciated. These improvements were much needed and appreciated by our park. Therefore when I received the notice of a rent increase going up by $400 I was shocked but not surprised due to all the improvements that were promised. However, the increase did go into effect before any of these improvements had even started. To be honest some of the improvements have caused issues around many of the homes. When it rains almost everyone's house floods. All the drains are covered or nonexistent. The crew who installed the parking spaces left several Nails and I mean several nails throughout roads, driveways, and yard causing a lot of residents to have to replace tires. That is just a few things that have happened since the construction started which some of the stuff is understandable I just want to make sure you're aware of what's happening.
After talking to a lot of my neighbors most if not all the people who live in this park either live on a fixed income or living paycheck by paycheck. When the last rent increase went into effect it hurt a lot of us. Most of the people who are on fixed incomes aren't even able to purchase food due to the increase even with a discount given to them. Myself and A lot of my neighbors moved into this park because we wanted a safe place for our families that we could afford. We feel like we are being driven out of our park. We are unable to afford the prices that you are suggesting for just land and most of us. If not all of us have a mortgage on our homes. It is completely unfair that you have raised the rent the way you have, knowing that it will be hard for most of us to be able to move our homes into other mobile home parks. Let alone being able to afford the high cost of renting an apartment, you will be leaving several people homeless when they are unable to afford the rent that you are suggesting.
After speaking to a few of our neighbors on the new side of the park. We have spoken to a woman that was offered a lease term that she showed us that would only increase her rent $100 every year with her rent amount starting off at $490. I don't know why she was privileged enough to get a lease term of this kind but I do find that a little unfair for someone who is new in the park. Although she did state that she knows you personally so maybe this is favoritism. A few of the neighbors on the new side had no idea she was receiving this kind of deal; you might be receiving some upset calls.
My neighbors and I are not trying to start any problems but we would like a fair rent amount that we are able to afford. We were OK with the first increase, there's nothing we can do about that now. But going up an additional $80 is completely and totally unfair when you have someone in the mobile home park that you have offered special privileges. We are just asking for a place to call home that we can afford without being scared that we're not going to be able to pay next month's rent and a lot of your Social Security people are unable to afford even food. The residents of this park don’t want to bring this to the attention of the news. I feel after speaking to a couple of the reporters from Channel 4 and NBC5 this would make a great stories since you have yet to give us a lease and have raised the rent twice in the last eight months let alone giving a resident in the park a special lease that locks her in with only receiving $100 increase per year. I have started this petition to make you aware of how the residents of this park feel since we have yet to have had the pleasure of meeting you. I hope you take into consideration our concerns and understand that we enjoy living here and understand that we will have to go through some rent increases but the way that this is being executed is completely unfair and unjust. I'm not sure if you've ever lived paycheck to paycheck or on a fixed income because if you have you would have never subjected any person to go through what you are forcing us to go through. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you,
Woodhaven Residents

Estimados vecinos Me gustaría presentarme. Mi nombre es Steven Cox. He estado viviendo en la comunidad durante los últimos 13 años. Como muchos de ustedes, me sorprendió mucho ver el aviso de otro aumento en el alquiler. Ya he hablado con muchos de ustedes y tuve la oportunidad de escuchar su opinión sobre cómo los aumentos de alquiler no son justos. Como todos en el parque ya saben, el parque se vendió a un nuevo propietario a quien aún no conocemos. Siento que tal vez este propietario no se dé cuenta del impacto que está teniendo en la gente de su parque con estos aumentos extremos de alquiler. Soy un técnico de aire acondicionado y con este trabajo me brinda muchas oportunidades para conocer gente nueva indiferente a la experiencia de la ley. después de haber comunicado un par de mis preocupaciones sobre los aumentos de alquiler y cómo afecta a muchas personas en nuestro parque. Muchos de ellos me han dicho que no hay mucho que podamos hacer legalmente sobre el aumento de la renta. Sin embargo, me informaron que podemos tratar de hacer una súplica con el propietario para que comprenda mejor cómo esto está afectando a todos en su parque. También hablé con dos de mis clientes que trabajaban para fox 4 News y NBC5. Ambos me han aconsejado antes de involucrar a los medios que haga una súplica al dueño y trate de hacerle entender la devastación que está causando a muchas de las familias en el parque de casas móviles. Si no pudiéramos hacer que el propietario escuchara nuestras preocupaciones o llegara a un acuerdo, estaría más que feliz de ayudarnos a concienciar sobre la situación que nos está pasando en este parque. Después de hablar con mi esposa y llevar mis inquietudes a algunos de mis clientes que trabajan en diferentes áreas del derecho. Decidimos que sería una gran oportunidad iniciar esta petición para dar voz a nuestros vecinos. Queremos que todos nuestros vecinos tengan la oportunidad de poder hacer oír su voz. A continuación verá una nota que he adjuntado al propietario actual, y creo que el grupo de inversión del parque. Si cree que mis palabras son ciertas, firme a continuación si desea dejar un comentario, puede hacerlo y si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese conmigo gracias por escuchar.
Gracias steven cox

Querido Sr. Zulejkic & CH Realty IX-FS Mhc Denton Woodhaven LP,
Primero me gustaría comenzar agradeciéndoles por todas las mejoras que están haciendo en la comunidad. Después de varios años de no haber realizado mejoras dentro de nuestro parque. Ver las mejoras realizadas en los espacios de estacionamiento, las carreteras y la adición de la piscina son muy apreciadas. Estas mejoras eran muy necesarias y apreciadas por nuestro parque. Por lo tanto, cuando recibí el aviso de un aumento de alquiler de $400, me sorprendió pero no me sorprendió debido a todas las mejoras prometidas. Sin embargo, el aumento entró en vigencia antes de que cualquiera de estas mejoras hubiera comenzado. Para ser honesto, algunas de las mejoras han causado problemas en muchas de las casas. Cuando llueve se inunda la casa de casi todos. Todos los desagües están tapados o no existen. El equipo que instaló los espacios de estacionamiento dejó varios clavos y me refiero a varios clavos en las carreteras, entradas de vehículos y patios, lo que provocó que muchos residentes tuvieran que reemplazar las llantas. Estas son solo algunas cosas que han sucedido desde que comenzó la construcción, algunas de las cuales son comprensibles. Solo quiero asegurarme de que esté al tanto de lo que está sucediendo. Después de hablar con muchos de mis vecinos, la mayoría, si no todas, las personas que viven en este parque viven con un ingreso fijo o viven de sueldo a sueldo. Cuando entró en vigor el último aumento de la renta, nos dolió a muchos. La mayoría de las personas que tienen ingresos fijos ni siquiera pueden comprar alimentos debido al aumento, incluso con un descuento. Muchos de mis vecinos y yo nos mudamos a este parque porque queríamos un lugar seguro para nuestras familias que pudiéramos pagar. Sentimos que estamos siendo expulsados de nuestro parque. No podemos pagar los precios que usted sugiere solo por la tierra y la mayoría de nosotros. Si no todos tenemos una hipoteca sobre nuestras casas. Es completamente injusto que haya aumentado el alquiler de la manera que lo ha hecho, sabiendo que será difícil para la mayoría de nosotros poder mudar nuestras casas a otros parques de casas móviles. Además de poder pagar el alto costo de alquilar un apartamento, dejará a varias personas sin hogar cuando no puedan pagar el alquiler que está sugiriendo. Después de hablar con algunos de nuestros vecinos en el lado nuevo del parque. Hemos hablado con una mujer que es coordinadora de VP para una empresa de alto precio, como dijo. Le ofrecieron un plazo de arrendamiento que nos mostró que solo aumentaría su alquiler $ 100 cada año con un monto de alquiler a partir de $ 490. No sé por qué tuvo el privilegio de obtener un contrato de arrendamiento de este tipo, pero lo encuentro un poco injusto para alguien que es nuevo en el parque. Aunque ella dijo que te conoce personalmente, así que tal vez esto sea favoritismo. Algunos de los vecinos del lado nuevo no tenían idea de que estaba recibiendo este tipo de trato; es posible que estés recibiendo algunas llamadas molestas. Mis vecinos y yo no estamos tratando de iniciar ningún problema, pero nos gustaría una cantidad de alquiler justa que podamos pagar. Estábamos bien con el primer aumento, no hay nada que podamos hacer al respecto ahora. Pero subir $80 adicionales es completa y totalmente injusto cuando tienes a alguien en el parque de casas móviles al que le has ofrecido privilegios especiales. Solo estamos pidiendo un lugar para llamar hogar que podamos pagar sin tener miedo de que no podamos pagar el alquiler del próximo mes y que muchos de sus empleados del Seguro Social no puedan pagar ni siquiera la comida. Los residentes de este parque no quieren traer esto a la atención de las noticias. Siento que después de hablar con un par de reporteros de Channel 4 y NBC5, esto sería una gran historia ya que aún no nos ha dado un contrato de arrendamiento y ha aumentado la renta dos veces en los últimos ocho meses, y mucho menos darle a un residente en el parque un contrato de arrendamiento especial que la encierra con solo recibir un aumento de $100 por año. He iniciado esta petición para hacerles saber cómo se sienten los residentes de este parque, ya que aún no hemos tenido el placer de conocerlos. Espero que tome en consideración nuestras inquietudes y comprenda que disfrutamos vivir aquí y comprenda que tendremos que pasar por algunos aumentos de alquiler, pero la forma en que esto se está ejecutando es completamente injusta e injusta. No estoy seguro de si alguna vez has vivido de cheque en cheque o con un ingreso fijo porque si lo hubieras hecho, nunca habrías sometido a ninguna persona a pasar por lo que nos estás obligando a pasar. Esperamos tener noticias suyas pronto. Gracias, Residentes de Woodhaven
