Owners of several California mobile home parks want to boost monthly rents, and are suing cities for the right to do so.
"Perched on a cliff looking out over the Pacific Ocean, the De Anza mobile home park in Santa Cruz is arguably the most spectacular such park in the world. It's also ground zero for perhaps the last great battle over rent control in California, the outcome of which could affect hundreds of thousands in the Golden State, many of them seniors on fixed incomes...Chicago-based Manufactured Home Communities, which owns De Anza, has joined other park owners in filing a slew of simultaneous federal lawsuits against cities, including Santa Cruz, that have rent-control laws." Several cities are settling the suits under threat of expensive legal fees, but residents are outraged over the owners tactics.
