My name is Janice Prude, and my husband Sam and I have rented our house in Swansea Mobile Home Park in Swansea, Illinois for over 15 years. The people who own this place, they just don’t keep it up to par.

My name is Rick Smith, and I’ve lived in Lake Suzanne Mobile Home Park in Shiloh, IL for 17 years. My dad wasn’t doing so good, so I volunteered to come down here from Indiana and take care of him. After he died, I bought the place, fixed it up, and my son came to live with me.

My name is Don Wessely. I’m a retired federal officer, and I served in the Marine Corps for nearly two decades. In 2018, my park was purchased by Impact Communities, a company based in Colorado. Since they took over, we’ve had to fight tooth and nail to hold them accountable for breaking state and city laws.

My name is Blake Alvies, and I’ve lived in Gaslite Mobile Home Park for 6 years. We’ve had three owners since I moved in. The original owners were great, but we haven’t even had a lease since 2019. I don’t mind paying lot rent, but we don’t get anything for it.
