VALLEY CENTER , Calif. — Senior citizens living in a Valley Center mobile home lot say they are being priced out after management raised the rent. ABC 10News spoke with multiple seniors on fixed incomes.Keyser lived at the Skyline Hills Country Club since 2019. The upscale mobile home park for seniors has a golf course and other luxurious amenities.The problem for Keyser, though, is that she won't be living there much longer.
" are new. People would put their sign out there, but there's never been... it seems like every week somebody's putting their house up," Keyser said. California law dictates landlords cannot raise rent more than 10% total or 5% plus the percentage change in the cost of living."During an independent analysis, the Park determined that in order to avoid continuing to run the Park at a loss given the ongoing expenses and costs, the Park was required to increase space rents.
"A notice of rent increase was sent out to the Homeowners in December, allowing the Homeowners enough time to get their financial affairs in order, especially given that the Park’s rent increase was less than the $1,675.00 previously approved by the Homeowners." Ingersoll told ABC 10News that rent increases have ranged from $100 to $400, depending on the space, and the average increase from 2014 to now is approximately 5.5% per year."It's not affordable for some of these people who have lived here 20-30 years now," Keyser said."That's what makes me the maddest. It's not just for us, we're young enough still that somehow, hopefully, we'll get through this.
