Oakland council discusses rent stabilization as mobile home residents press for action

OAKLAND, Maine (WGME) — In Oakland, residents of a manufactured home park are urging town leaders to adopt a rent stabilization ordinance.

Residents from three different manufactured home parks say they’ve seen a series of lot rent hikes and deferred maintenance by their park management.

The Maine Labor Climate Council says families have been left with unresolved maintenance problems, safety concerns, and housing instability.
