There are many trailer parks or mobile home communities through out the state of Ohio and many of them are located right here in Portage County, and many if not all do not follow the fair housing laws, they do discriminate!
A lot of it is for monetary gain, where they can rip off the mobile home owners of their homes. An example is if you have own a mobile home in a park, and want to sell it because you have purchased or have desires to move out of the community, they say the future buyer must be park approved, so if the future buyer is buying from the owner you can bet they will be denied, they look for ways to deny the private purchaser, in hopes the owner will get frustrated with having to pay the continued lot rent and sign the mobile home over to the park, at which they in turn acquire and resell to someone else at a profit.
One guaranteed way of getting park approved is to buy directly from trailer park or one of its sister
companies at a incredibly high price, with high interest rates over a 15 year period and you will be
park approved, but be a cash paying person willing to spend $16,000 to $20,000 to a private owner and you will be denied for some off the wall reason because the owners are not getting the money!
