Question: A tenant was convicted of a sex crime - molesting his granddaughters. He will be released from jail shortly. His wife is living in our community, but her name is not on the rental agreement, just her husband's. His intentions are to resume living with his wife in our 55+ Park. What can we do to prevent his return?

Question: One of my tenants has approached me asking if I would pay to have her mobile leveled. It appears the ground underneath her mobile is settling and the concrete pad has cracked. She indicated that she is worried about the water lines to her home. She has lived in the park for 30 years, and is a former manager approaching 80 years of age. What is my responsibility for leveling mobile homes in the park, even if caused by the ground subsiding?

Question: I have a resident who was given permission to build a permanent carport. Most all of the carports in my park are free standing and permanent which is my preference. However, he constructed the permanent carport by boring holes in the ground and filling them with concrete and inserting metal mounts to which he fastened 4x4 uprights for the carport. Building it this way, in my opinion, made it part of the real property. I was there when construction started but was absent when it was completed. What now complicates matters is that he recently decided to sell the manufactured home, including the carport. This would not have been an issue had the buyer is now planned on moving the home. I believe that since the carport is now permanently affixed to the ground, it cannot be sold as personal property along with the home. He also attached the carport to the manufactured home which may complicate things, as well. What are my rights here?

Question: A tenant has her boyfriend living in her home under a MHCO Occupancy Agreement. We put him under the Occupancy Agreement instead of permitting to become a tenant because his background check was sketchy. They both work and they alternate paying the monthly rent. Generally they do not create problems in the community and stay mostly by themselves. However, recently the tenant and boyfriend broker up, but the tenant moved out leaving her boyfriend to continue paying the rent. How do I get the boyfriend out?

Question: Our community has been on well water forever. There is a new water system available to hook up to. Under that system each space would have its own meter and a flat rate would be charged for the first fixed number of gallons per space. After the fixed number of gallons/space is used, the homeowner would be charged a price per gallon. Can we charge exactly what the water system charges on top of the current rent? Effectively passing on what we are charged for their individual use?

Question: I am confused on the use of rules violation notices. Do I use a 20-day notice or 30-day notice? Does the "three strikes law" apply?

Question: A family moves into a manufactured housing community with a thirteen year old boy. Five years later the parents vacate the home but leave the boy who is now eighteen.

Question. The City of Gresham is now charging a "Public Safety Fee" on every mobile home space in the city. It starts at $2.40/month/space and escalates to $7.19/month/space in June. Park owners have to pay the fee for all residents and then try to collect it back from them. If the residents have their own utility accounts with the City, they pay their fee directly, but most parks pay water and sewer utilities in bulk. What can you tell me about this Public Safety Fee, and whether I can treat it as a utility or service, and pass it through to park residents?
