What if you could reshape rent policies in your community just by participating in a survey? Join me, Bill Bateman from the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA), as I share our exceptional progress in our statewide survey on rent issues within manufactured home, and floating home communities. Thanks to an overwhelming turnout and your passionate support, we've extended the survey deadline to November 30th. With grassroots efforts like making over 500 calls in one park alone, we're witnessing a surge of enthusiasm and determination sparking conversations with state senators and pushing for significant policy changes.

This episode unveils the journey toward tying rent increases to the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) rather than the standard 10% hike. The response from tenants has been nothing short of extraordinary, leading to productive discussions with state legislators like Senator Golden and Senator Patterson. As a fellow resident of a mobile home community, I can vouch for the collective urgency to ensure fairer rent stabilization measures. With the survey momentum gaining speed, there’s potential for further extensions to gather even more input. Tune in as we navigate these critical developments and strive for equitable living conditions for all of us.
