Sun communities is very GREEDY!
The lot rent when I moved in 10 years ago was $475 a month. Today, 5/13/25 I got the notice for the renewal and it is now up to $729.00. A $39.00 increase from last year and $254.00 increase from 2015. :-( They make sooooooooooo much money it isn't even funny. I think there is close to 400 homes in this park, so that is $291,600 per month they take in. There is no reason the lot rent should be that high. At this point I have no other choice but to continue paying this money grubbing place. They make enough money that the office staff people should be making BIG BUCKS, but I am sure it all goes to the top to the SUPER GREEDY CORPORATION!

Racist administration against Latinos and evictions
Racist administration against Latinos, they evict people from their own homes, taking them to court to repossess the properties. This is happening to me, and I paid the money in court, but they won't collect it to make people believe they're not paying. I have a lawyer, and I'm going to sue the company and the management of Central Park in Haines City, Florida. I bought the house, and they can't take it away from me with lies.

STAY AWAY FROM SUN COMMUNITIES LLC MOBILE HOME PARKS
Their very own CEO stepped down because of an investigation as to his work within the Sun Community LLC company. This is not a good place for your final resting place - Money Gougers! Worse place to live for your final days. In the End they will make sure that you cannot afford your home or pets to be with. Horrible management, constantly replace office staff? I wonder why that is.

Signed a 1 year lease
Signed a 1 year lease. Big Mistake. Seemed nice at first, but the bushnell site is not what it looks like. Locals use the facility as their dumping grounds. Laundry is dirty, full of dog hair, and like the rest of the facilities used by people outside of the community. Also people are not vetted properly. Had a drugged out woman across from my camper leaving garbage outside her camper, and never cleaning up after her dogs, or leashing them. Complained to the office, and 6 MONTHS later she is still there doing all the same things. Wanted to leave and break the lease, but they would not let me and I had to pay the last 4 months of rent even though I didnt live there. Also I somehow generated a water, sewer, and electric bill even though the camper was unhooked, shut off, and packed up.

After Sun Communities replaced out…
After Sun Communities replaced out water/sewer meters under our homes (which most of us own) we were told that the heat tape on our pipes would be "checked." Well, seems the heat tape was removed. We were told, via email (November 13, 2024), that the heat tape would be replaced at "20 homes per day" and they were working over the weekend to do so. It's a small park, approximately 150 homes, but we've seen little done. Next week we will have temps in the teens and single digits. As a senior on a limited income, I cannot afford to have my pipes damaged. I am NOT the only one here in this situation! We are all concerned! Wha'????

Steer clear of Sun Community for buying or renting! They seem to have a knack for ignoring their residents while hiking up lot prices annually. It's like they have a corporate office that doubles as a complaint black hole. Why not join the class action instead? It sounds like a much better use of your time!

Just greedy people with small minds and big egos! Absolutely NO respect and NO help from Corporate Officials who let Park Management ie SALES people run their fiefdoms free from supervision! DO NOT BUY from Sun Homes, especially in Grass Valley CA!

If you care about your safety, DO NOT live here, its ghetto now.
I bought my home in the sun community called Oak Ridge in Manteno, IL. It was once a beautiful and safe community. Stacy the original manager when I moved in was fair and direct. I liked her and everyone here felt safe. Since she was replaced with this current manager, this park has become unsafe, filthy and an all-around ghetto place to live. This manager allows her friends and family to do whatever they please and she comes at those of us who are not her friends and family, she leaves violation letters threatening fines. She has violated my 1st amendment rights on several occasions. There are rules that we live by here that we actually pay to enjoy. This is SUPPOSED to be a 55 and older community but this manager allows everyone to live here, kids and the like. Her own family drives at 50 mph through the park, running me off the road, but because it's her friends and family, its ok by her. I have asked this manager for help with something that she was there to help the sr citizens with and her reply was no. She is unbearably rude and does nothing whatsoever to maintain the integrity of this park. Everyone who has had an interaction with her has said the very same thing. She does nothing for those of us who pay to live here at a growing rate of 6% EVERY YEAR and for what??? There is currently a garage sale going on in this park that is 4 days long every week for the past month. Cars are running over the landscaping that WE have to pay for and now, have to pay to repair. These nonstop cars block us in and out of our own driveways. I spoke with this manager as the city of Manteno informed us that is what we had to do, when we called. They informed us that this month-long garbage sale is a violation of many laws, and nothing is done by the manager here. No surprise, whatsoever. If it were anyone else in this park, I can say with utmost certainty, we'd be shut down. There are certain bylaws that must be agreed to when moving in to this park, one of which is that no aggressive breed dogs will be permitted. Since this manager has taken over, there are 3 pit bulls living in this park. Two were seen chasing the amazon driver back into his truck when they got out. Imagine if it happened to someone's elderly parent while walking their small dogs? This is just a snippet of the insanity that has become our new normal here in the Oak Ridge trailer park. I never used to refer to it as a trailer park but since this manager has taken over and is allowing so much to go on, its now trailer trash and I will be looking to see if I can sell to the lowest common denominator who can meet my asking price. So, if it happens to be dog fighters, prostitutes, gang bangers and the like, it won't matter to this manager. She lets kids, pit bulls, criminal activity (illegal month-long garbage sales and the like) to go on. If you try to find her, she lives in the park, so she is rarely in the office, leaving us PAYING residents to fend for ourselves. Not what we pay for. Buyer beware of the Sun Communities. They put block busters in and destroy from within. You are not safe here with this type of management.
