Attorney General Tong additionally\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/portal.ct.gov\/-\/media\/AG\/Press_Releases\/2022\/Mobile-Home-Park-Testimony-HSG-2-21-23-F-updated-link.pdf\"><strong>submitted testimony<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0regarding two legislative proposals seeking to ensure mobile home parks in Connecticut remain both affordable and well-managed.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, the Office of the Attorney General has received numerous complaints from Beechwood Community residents in Killingworth who have seen sustained, escalating rent hikes despite deteriorating conditions. Beechwood residents, like many residents of mobile manufactured home parks, own their homes but pay monthly rent for the lot of land they sit on. That rent covers various common amenities, including property maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>Beechwood was acquired by Sun Communities in 2019, one of several real estate investment trusts that have acquired hundreds of mobile home parks across the country. The result has been increased lot rent and decreased responsiveness to tenant needs, according to residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cResidents everywhere\u2014regardless of the type of property\u2014deserve affordable, safe, appropriately maintained housing. I fully support the Housing Committee in their efforts to ensure Connecticut\u2019s mobile home communities remain an affordable option,\u201d\u00a0<strong>Attorney General Tong states in his testimony.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Attorney General Tong visited Beechwood in November to meet with residents. He heard complaints from dozens of residents regarding community-wide septic problems, among other concerns. Beechwood tenants reported that Sun has not kept up with regular septic tank maintenance, and as a result tenants are experiencing sewage back-ups into their sinks, toilets, and bathtubs. Many of these tenants are elderly and disabled. Some have paid out of pocket to have plumbers address problems resulting from these septic backups. One disabled resident complained of a large beehive in front of her porch. The management company said they did not have money in their budget to remove it. The tenant paid herself to get it removed. Another tenant complained that her stairs lacked rails and were loose. She reported that maintenance agreed they were dangerous, but management has yet to fix them.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter to Sun Communities Regional Vice President Kathy Ecke, the Office of the Attorney General cites state statutes regulating the duties of mobile home park management, including maintenance of common areas in a \u201cclean and safe condition\u201d and the maintenance of water and sewer lines in \u201cgood working order.\u201d The letter lists ten properties where residents have complained of septic-related problems and asks Sun for records of all complaints regarding those properties as well as records of septic tank maintenance. The letter further asks Sun to describe how the company is meeting its obligations to its residents under state law. ##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part I b.

According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/ctexaminer.com\/2022\/07\/29\/rent-hikes-leave-mobile-home-residents-in-a-bind\/\">CTInsider analysis,<\/a> Connecticut rents have risen steadily over the past five years, with exceptionally low vacancy rates driving rents even higher over the past two years. Mobile home communities remain some of the more affordable housing choices, particularly for low-income seniors. Keeping our mobile home communities safe, well-maintained, and affordable is vital. To that end, the rent cap of 2.5 percent, as provided for in H.B. 6589, may be appropriate to consider. If the Committee proceeds with a similar rent cap, I would urge you not to broadly carve out properties from the cap based on age.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past year, my office has had numerous communications with residents from the Beechwood Community in Killingworth who have seen sustained, escalating rent hikes despite deteriorating conditions. Beechwood residents, like many residents of mobile manufactured home parks, own their homes but pay monthly rent for the lot of land they sit on. That rent covers various common amenities, including property maintenance. I urge the Committee to consider expanding this cap to consider not just rent paid for a \u201cdwelling\u201d but the \u201clot rent\u201d more common in these communities as well.<\/p>\n<p>I visited Beechwood last November and met with several dozen residents regarding the challenges they are experiencing.\u00a0 These problems began in 2019, after Beechwood was acquired by Sun Communities, one of several real estate investment trusts that have acquired hundreds of mobile home parks across the country. Nationally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/27\/us\/mobile-home-park-ownership-costs.html\">private investors like Sun have purchased mobile home<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/27\/us\/mobile-home-park-ownership-costs.html\">communities<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/03\/27\/us\/mobile-home-park-ownership-costs.html\">,<\/a> replacing local ownership and management with out-of-town corporate executives who report to boards of directors and shareholders. The result has been increased lot rent and decreased responsiveness to tenant needs. Sun Communities owns several properties in Connecticut, including properties in Southington, Westbrook, Storrs, Uncasville, Old Mystic, and Danbury.<\/p>\n<p>Residents of mobile home communities have little control over a change in ownership, despite the huge impact these changes have on their quality of life, pocketbooks, and property values. In the event of a sale, it is only fair that residents be given the opportunity match any sales price to purchase and manage their own community, as provided for in S.B 988.<\/p>\n<p>When I visited Beechwood, I heard complaints from multiple residents regarding community-wide<\/p>\n<p>septic problems. Beechwood tenants reported that Sun has not kept up with regular septic tank maintenance, and as a result tenants are experiencing sewage back-ups into their sinks, toilets, and bathtubs. Many of these tenants are elderly and disabled. Some have paid out of pocket to have plumbers address problems resulting from these septic backups. One disabled resident complained of a large beehive in front of her porch. The management company said they did not have money in their budget to remove it. The tenant paid herself to get it removed. Another tenant complained that her stairs lacked rails and were loose. She reported that maintenance agreed they were dangerous, but management has yet to fix them.<\/p>\n<p>I have referred each of these complaints to the Department of Consumer Protection, which inspects, licenses, and investigates complaints from mobile home park residents, and enforces<\/p>\n<p>Connecticut\u2019s laws and regulations regarding these parks. My office is in close communication with DCP on this matter and I strongly support their work in this area. I will be bringing these complaints directly to the attention of Sun management as well.<\/p>\n<p>Residents everywhere\u2014regardless of the type of property\u2014deserve affordable, safe, appropriately maintained housing. I fully support the Housing Committee in their efforts to ensure Connecticut\u2019s mobile home communities remain an affordable option.\u00a0 \u00a0##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Part II.
