We want to enjoy our retirement and not worry about every last penny and now we arent going to get anything out of it," said Beth Cole.Homeowners said theyve invested thousands of dollars in their homes and believe they have the right to sell them.Documents that Cole received from Yankee Traveler owners said homes that are older and not well maintained bring down the quality of our neighborhood"...and that homes older than 1985 were built with tip-outs and slide-outs that often create maintenance problems.The documents also said that if a home is well-maintained, the seller may petition to keep their home in the park.The Coles said even though theyve maintained their home, they did not qualify for the exception.Ardella MacPherson with Florida Retreat Mobile Home Sales said privately owned TV parks can enforce any rules they choose.Every park is different thoughthat could bebut I've never heard of that, I've never heard of a park thatbecause we have parks that are selling homes and they are in the 50s, 1950, 1955," said MacPherson.Tampa Bay 28 did reach out to the owners of Yankee Traveler RV Park and hasn't heard back yet.In the meantime, the Coles are spreading one message."We really want people aware. Be careful of what youre buying and what the rules are and that they can change at any time," said Beth Cole. ...read more read less
