Under the proposed 44-page leases, when current residents sell, MHC can jack up rents to what it considers "fair market rate." Which is a nice way of saying that Gran in your basic $450-a-month coach will now have to cough up $1,350 a month, while Gramps, who pays $780 for an oceanfront model, will be slapped in his gray beard with a staggering $5,000 a month--and this from residents who are mostly 75 years and over, on fixed incomes and anticipating increasing medical costs.

Delaware - Home owners in those parks have complained in recent months that MHC has seriously neglected upkeep of its communities while aggressively raising its lot rents as much as 77 percent.

Venables chairs the Senate housing committee.

Chicago-based Manufactured Home Communities, which owns De Anza, denies the conspiracy allegations and contends it is only seeking fair market value for its property. MHC has joined other park owners in filing a slew of simultaneous federal lawsuits against cities, including Santa Cruz, that have rent control laws
