COMMUNITY CORNER
One thing all great parks have in common is a thriving social community within their park. During a recent visit to Gainsborough Park in Eugene, Rochelle Love Elder, OSTA’s Co-Chair, reports that this OSTA Chapter is a shining example of how to do things right.
Their Chapter meets regularly and nearly 50% of their park residents participate in their social events. During her visit they were planning a community sale, where residents donate items to raise funds for their social group.
They have a musician coming sometime in the fall to put on a community concert and they have a consistent parkwide potluck every month. Their owner/landlord gets 5 star-approval from us. He maintains the community space well and keeps it openly available for everyone to use. Write to us and tell us what kind of social events keep your park’s residents together and happy.

AT THE CAPITOL
Our Representatives are listening. Many senior and disabled park residents have written letters and voiced their concerns about the rent increases allowed by law at this time. If left at it’s current rate of 10%, seniors and those living on social security or fixed-incomes will be priced out of their homes.
With no more affordable housing available anywhere, this subject is of dire concern for our law-makers and our community. During our workgroup we will be representing our members and all manufactured home park residents as we discuss what a new lower rent increase cap should look like.
Other topics on our agenda include whether or not landlords should be allowed to increase the rent between tenants, and if so, by what amount; we will also be discussing whether or not landlords should be allowed to require upgrades which are only for aesthetic purposes.
More in our next newsletter. In the meanwhile, write to us with your story on how rent increases affect you. hello@oregontenants.com
