A case study gathers resident sentiments about rents, rules, legislative remedies.

Ten years after Colorado's 2013 floods, many people who lived in mobile homes have struggled to get funding and new housing.

Eighty percent of survey respondents said they support new regulations requiring that mobile home parks provide their residents with clean drinking water. Tawny Peyton, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Home Association, said the mobile home park industry has been bombarded with sweeping law changes in recent years, causing confusion and additional operation and legal costs.

Jeff Rank realized something concerning in the early hours of Nov. 27. His toilet would not flush. Frustrated at what he said was the latest in a string of water issues for his Summit County mobile home, Rank filed a complaint the next day with the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ (DOLA) Mobile Home Park Oversight Program — an agency still in its infancy.
