Elgin's Munson wants to override Blagojevich veto

=95 Mobile-home park: Measure aims to counter rent = surge at Willow=20 Lake

By Nathaniel = Zimmer=20

staff writer

ELGIN =97 The sponsor of a bill that would give residents of a local=20 mobile-home park for seniors a way to challenge rent increases said she = would=20 seek to override Gov. Rod Blagojevich's recent veto of the measure.

Rep. Ruth Munson, R-Elgin, said Tuesday that with the legislation = having=20 passed both the House and Senate by greater than a three-fifths margin, = she was=20 optimistic that come November her colleagues would vote for passage over = the=20 governor's objections.

Residents of Willow Lake Estates in Elgin have complained in the past = about=20 skyrocketing rents charged by the park's owner, Chicago-based Equity = Lifestyle=20 Properties Inc., formerly known as Manufactured Home Communities Inc. = They have=20 said the company has pushed rents to the point that people who want to = leave=20 cannot find buyers for their homes and must abandon them.

Munson said she believes the company wants people to leave so it can = replace=20 their homes with larger, more expensive ones for which people would be = willing=20 to pay higher rents.

Calls to Equity were not returned Tuesday. The company reportedly = announced=20 last year that it was freezing Willow Lake rents for two years. However, = according to Munson and others, potential new buyers still are being = asked to=20 pay significantly higher rents than existing tenants, making it = difficult to=20 sell.

Munson's bill would give tenants who object to a rent increase the = right to=20 initiate a binding appraisal process in which the tenant and park owner = would=20 settle on a licensed appraiser who would determine the fair market rent = for the=20 property "based on the existing leases of other tenants in the same = mobile home=20 park." Among other things, it also would require park owners to offer = leases=20 lasting at least two years.

The bill would apply only to publicly traded companies =97 a point = that=20 Blagojevich focused on in a brief statement issued this week explaining = his=20 veto.

"While I recognize and appreciate the hard work of all the sponsors = in=20 passing this legislation, the bill would apply to only three of the=20 approximately 900 Illinois mobile-home parks," he said. "Legislation = addressing=20 mobile-home park leasing policies should apply uniformly to all Illinois = mobile-home parks."

Munson: Relief needed

Munson said the bill would affect 10 mobile-home parks = owned by=20 three companies, and that private park owners are less likely to jack up = rents=20 and thereby increase vacancies.

"Close to 3,000 people are affected, most of them senior citizens who = need=20 some relief," she said. "They need the governor to protect them from=20 corporations that are banking on them having to abandon their homes."

Willow Lake's 617 home sites are built around a pond that stands near = the=20 banks of the Fox River on the city's far north side, just south of = Interstate=20 90.

Average annual rent last year was $8,919, or $743 a month, up from = $660 a=20 month in 2002, according to company filings. Average annual rent in the = 285=20 parks Equity owns in 28 states was far less, at about $5,000.=20

Whether because of the rents or other reasons, the park was less than = 78=20 percent occupied last year, down from 83 percent the year before.

Some note improvements

Nevertheless, not everyone in Willow Lake is up in arms = about=20 rents.

Carole Dakan, 68, said that last year the company informed her it was = freezing her rent until 2008. And the park has been better maintained = since a=20 new manager took over, she and others said.

"I don't hear as many complaints as I used to," said Dakan, a retired = hospital employee who was among around 50 Willow Lake residents who went = to=20 Chicago to air their grievances to elected officials in late 2003.

Dakan pays $950 a month for her riverside lot, up from $725 when she = and her=20 husband Ron moved in six years ago. But Ron can fish from their = backyard, the=20 views are beautiful, and the couple's home, for which they paid about = $108,000,=20 is twice as big as the one they left behind in Batavia, Dakan said.

"I wish it was a little less expensive, but I certainly am happy = here," she=20 said. "It certainly is beautiful."

Sharon Steil, 65, has lived in the park for nine years. Her husband = died=20 seven months ago. Steil said she doesn't personally know anyone who has = had to=20 move because of rent increases, although she's heard that it's happened.

"I can see where things are going to be a little harder for me," said = Steil,=20 who pays $723 a month for her home, which has a deck and a view of the = river.=20 But, she added, "So far I'm OK."

There are a dozen homes under construction or available for occupancy = in=20 Willow Lake, according to Equity's Web site. Base prices range from = $75,000 for=20 a 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom to $129,000 for a 1,680-square-foot=20 two-bedroom. Several new homes occupy prime riverside sites.

Ken Cardwell, 75, said his rent is less than $700 a month. But it = would go up=20 to $793 for a new tenant. He said he has little hope of selling.

"A mobile home is usually looked upon as a less-expensive way of = life,"=20 Cardwell said. "But with this rent they have established, it's just too = high."

The chairman of Equity's board is well-known Chicago real-estate = tycoon=20 Samuel Zell. In 2002, Zell's wife Helen donated $75,000 to Blagojevich's = campaign, and the couple together donated another $7,500, state records = show.=20 The $82,500 the pair gave Blagojevich put them among his 35 largest = contributors=20 in that year, according to the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.

Equity owns two other parks in Illinois: Golf Vista Estates in=20 far-south-suburban Monee and O'Connells in downstate Amboy. Both are = much=20 cheaper than Willow Lake and are either full or almost entirely full.
