About half the residents launched a rent strike in May, prompting Cook Properties to send out about 30 eviction notices. When that didn’t happen and a new lease with a 6% increase was imposed this year, they formed an association. They hoped the latest owner, Cook Properties, would address the bourbon-colored drinking water, sewage bubbling into their bathtubs and the pothole-filled roads. Residents, about half of whom are seniors or disabled people on fixed incomes, put up with the first two increases.
That changed in 2018 when corporate owners took over the 65-year-old park located amid farmland and down the road from a fast food joint and grocery store about 30 miles northeast of Buffalo. For as long as anyone can remember, rent increases rarely happened at Ridgeview Homes, a family-owned mobile home park in upstate New York. Ward is one of the residents at Ridgeview participating in a rent strike after new owners of the park announced they were raising rents by six percent.
