The new owners probably had plans to have a HOA take control of the park and apply rules about landscaping, paint colors, vehicle parking, maintenance, pet ownership and signage being typical items under HOA scrutiny. Along with an HOA comes HOA fees. It is also possible the new owners only want mobile homes that are double wide and built after a certain year. Mostly for insurance purchases. If owner can’t get insurance for older mobile homes the park owners could be stuck with a lot of debris and headache in the event of a disaster.
