The Delaware Manufactured Home Owners Association says it wants the state legislature to create a manufactured housing commission this year.
Bill Kinnick, the organization’s president, told WBOC that there is little oversight of such homes with landowners deciding the values of the land as a justification to hike rents.
In short Kinnick noted that they have a captive audience with few options.
He said that the majority of the people who live in the 191 manufactured homes live on fix incomes either as retirees or veterans.
Kinnick says the increases in rents are well over inflation.
