Several mobile and manufactured home parks have had substantial rent increases this year and notices have just gone out for another huge increase for next year. What are seniors in this community supposed to do? Rents are $600 to $800 dollars and sometimes cover nothing more than the privilege of living there. Rent increases of $50 a month, or more, each year is a lot when on a fixed income but the owner says, “If you don’t like it, move.”
A pretty cold attitude when people are just trying to live comfortably their remaining years. Please go to the Washington State Legislature website ASAP and tell them your legislators to support affordable housing legislation.
You have to speak up. If you don’t have a computer, please write your representatives. There’s strength in numbers folks, and you must make your voices heard if you want change.
