Rancho Mesa Mobile Home Park

The management is horrible, space rent over $1000.00 are you kidding in ElCajon? Claimed to be a 55 plus park. BullS**T. Kids everywhere. Not even close to what they betray to be! RUN away from this park! Never buy or rent here. Only 1 nice thing to say is NOTHING!! more

I am a retired cop and professional shopper, I warn you that I am very disappointed that I got involved with these people. They are nice until you sign the rental, after, they seem to care less. I never moved into the new rental, I felt trapped by many rules and decided to break the lease which cost me 2 months rent, they said if it rented they would return any rent left over, since I paid for uverse I felt it would rent before the others.\r \r One office girl told me that they did not rent it as my rent did not run out, which meant they planned to keep it. I have waited a long time for them to return my deposit, 2 1/2 weeks ago I was told the check was being cut as we talked, well yesterday they said they would write it. They would not return my phone calls. They handle their own electrical even though each unit has its own meter, the neighbor told me that her bill sky rockets each month, big time, I don't trust these people, it is all business, no heart.\r \r If I don't get my deposit or they try to cheat me, I will update. I believe there has been some violations which I am checking into. Rent here at your own risk, I believe if you buy here, it would be difficult to sell.\r PS Look at the people standing around at the liqour store and the apts across the street and tell me how safe you feel. \r \r UPDATE 11/01/2012\r The continuing nightmare,\r \r As I said before, do not trust these people. They have promised that they ""cut"" my check three different times, so you would think I got three checks, ha!\r \r I specifically told them that I do not receive mail at my house, only my PO box, where do you think they sent it, now it is lost so who knows how long until I get my $1100 plus deposit.\r \r I gave my notice on (9/01/2012), instead of taking the next money from the deposit they said I had to pay the next months rent or I would be fined (quite a bit) so I paid it. It is now (11/01/2012) with no justice. This is a big corporation, I called both their corp. offices and left messages about this incompetence however it has been several days without a return call, only the local female who caused this problem called and said to wait a few days, it seems they just don't care.\r \r All I can say is BUYER/RENTER BEWARE!!!!!!\r \r Ron G.\r \r UPDATE for 11/17/2012\r As expected, as of yesterday the $1100+ has not showed up, I have called their Corp. offices (Chicago/Phoenix) with still no help. The local female who caused all this said to wait a week and a half and call if it did not show up. Why should these people keep my deposit. State law mandates it's return in 21 days. I have contacted a Senior Abuse Agency to start legal action.\r DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN THIS POSITION!!!\r \r \r more

When we bought there in June 2000 space rent was $535 per month. We had gradual increases for 5 years. On Jan1,2006 space rent increased from $625 per month to $935. A group of us hired an attorney and filed suit. Rancho Mesa is owned by MHC, a nationwide mobilehome communities corp, which has lawyers for fighting lawsuits. They drug it out in court for a few years until we all went bankrupt and left. When we left it was our understanding that a new resident has to sign a five year lease for $1100.00 per month. Rancho Mesa is/was a 55+ community. It was full,164 spaces, when we first got there.by the time we left it was 40% empty. more
