Protecting Residents of Manufactured Home Communities

PROTECTING RESIDENTS OF MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES

Thousands of Pennsylvania families own their homes but not the land beneath them. When private equity firms buy manufactured home communities, they can impose crushing lot rent increases. Some residents have already seen their lot rents double or even triple, pushing seniors, veterans, and working families to the brink and forcing heartbreaking choices between keeping a roof over their heads, putting food on the table, or paying for lifesaving medications.

What will lot rent look like in the next few years if nothing changes?

Then take two minutes to act.

Use the link below to an email to your state senator urging them to vote YES on HB 1250.

Call your senator and ask them one simple question:

"If my lot rent reaches $____, how are you going to help me stay in my home and afford food and essentials like medicine? Please act now to help me."

HB 1250 would provide long-overdue protections by increasing transparency and ensuring lot rent increases are fair and justified. It passed the House with bipartisan support, recognizing that homeowners who can't easily move deserve stronger protections than private equity firms.

The Senate must act.

Every email. Every phone call. Every voice matters.

Add your voice to help keep thousands of Pennsylvanians in their homes.

Support HB 1250

Email Body:

Dear Senator,

I am asking you to support and pass House Bill 1250 because my ability to stay in my home depends on you.

I own my home, but I rent the land beneath it. When my lot rent increases, I have no real choice but to pay it. Moving a manufactured home is often impossible or prohibitively expensive, leaving people like me trapped.

I used the rent calculator to see what my lot rent could become if increases continue at the current pace. The results were frightening. If nothing changes, my housing costs will continue to climb until I can no longer afford to stay in my home.

This isn't just about higher rent. It's about the real possibility of losing my home, my savings, and the equity I've spent years building.

House Bill 1250 would provide long-overdue protections by requiring greater transparency and helping ensure lot rent increases are fair and justified. It passed the House with bipartisan support because legislators recognized homeowners who cannot move deserve more protections than private equity firms.

Every day the Senate delays, more homeowners are pushed closer to a financial cliff. Only you can stop it and I'm depending on you.

Please vote for House Bill 1250. Help keep me and thousands of other Pennsylvanians in our homes before it is too late.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
