   Matt,nnPlease do not repeat the misinformation campaign Lee Rood of the Des Moines Register was waging against our housing. Here is the truth–Residents of manufactured homes have right greater than those of apartment residents in Iowa. Termination of a lease for apartment owners requires a 30 day notice, termination of a lease for manufactured housing residents requires a 60 day notice. Both apartment and manufactured housing residents and landlords have a no cause provision for termination of a lease. Lee Rood ran a Jerry Springer series on manufactured housing that was often inaccurate and too often contained outright lies, that she knew to be falsehoods. Because our brand image is lower than a snakes’s belly in a wagon wheel rut we are easy targets for journalists of the ilk of Ms. Rood. We need to address our brand image.
