Times Record - Fearing rent increases for Brunswick residents who can ill afford them, the town is considering a rent stabilization ordinance. The town is home to six mobile home parks, including the state's largest — Bay Bridge Estates. Residents have watched their lot rents tick up repeatedly in recent years, prompting many to worry they might be priced out.
“Citizens are being abused by owners of trailer parks in our community, and we’re not alone in this. This is something that is happening state and nationwide,” said Councilor David Watson, who sponsored Thursday’s workshop. “… We’re talking about people living in mobile homes that do not necessarily have a great amount of resources; we’re talking about people who are elderly, on limited incomes who are being abused by the raising of lot rents.”
