Every year, thousands of people in lot-lease communities are displaced by predatory investors who buy the land beneath homes—still commonly but inaccurately called "mobile homes" and extract millions of dollars in annual revenue from working families and people on fixed incomes. Their model often relies on steep rent increases, deferred maintenance, and, in some cases, community closure when the land can yield greater profits elsewhere.
