Blog Policy Changes

We have been forced to moderate the “comment” feature on this blog due to repeated abuse by individuals who do not seem to understand or respect the fact that the HOA voted unanimously to solicit homeowners’ concerns for inclusion in a formal letter to management because, thus far, many homeowners have found the Complaint/Concern Memo and verbal inquiries to be ineffective in getting answers or resolving issues within the park. We are currently in that information gathering process and, as previously posted in the HOA Highlights, the HOA board will be presenting a list of homeowners’ concerns and a draft letter at the next HOA meeting.

The California State Legislature has recognized the rampant ineffectiveness of the informal complaint process within mobile home parks statewide; the Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) explicitly provides a procedure by which management is required to respond, and sets specific time frames (Cal. Civil Code § 798.25). This is the process we are presently undertaking.

I encourage everyone to come to the next HOA meeting (October 9, 7:00 p.m.) to discuss your concerns – with management or with this process. Until then, I continue to request that homeowners provide their comments, concerns, or kudos to ggmhoa@gmail.com. We will continue to publish all comments (unless you request otherwise) that relate directly to the subject at hand – concerns and compliments that will be included in a letter to management in accordance with the MRL. Under no circumstances will comments containing vulgar language be given consideration.
