Mobile‑home park leader urges residents to rely on rent‑review committees after sudden rule mailings
Summary
John Moer, president of San Marcos Mobile Estates HOA, told the council that some parks mailed rule changes without notice and urged residents not to sign materials and to rely on city‑required rent‑review committees.
During oral communications, John Moer, president of the San Marcos Mobile Estates HOA, told the City Council that residents in a few mobile‑home parks recently received mailings of updated park rules without prior notice. Moer said the mailings asked residents to sign the documents, which could trigger changes in park regulations if returned.
"Don't sign anything," Moer told residents, and he urged reliance on the city ordinance that requires a rent‑review committee for each park to negotiate rent adjustments and rule changes. Moer described ongoing rent‑negotiations at his park, efforts to document deferred maintenance and plans to hold a park meeting for residents to vote on any proposal.
Council members thanked Moer for the update and did not take direct action at the meeting. Staff and the council did not provide an immediate formal response on record; Moer asked city staff and the community to stay vigilant about landlord communications and to use the city’s rent‑review processes where provided by ordinance.
