Some mobile home owners in North Liberty said they're scrambling to figure out what their next move is after someone bought the park that they call home. Now, their new owners are raising their rent by more than 50 percent on June 1.

Don Lund has called his place at Golfview home since 1997.

"This is where I'd like to grow old. I'd like to do it here," said Lund.

Lund is looking at any options he can, like fixing up his spare room to rent out. The last thing he wants to do is get up and move somewhere else.

"This is the place I'd kind of like to retire," said Lund. "This is like the greatest neighborhood I've ever been to."

Kelly Stapleton and her family live down the street. She said the area means a lot to her because of her family and fears they're being taken advantage of.

"I was pregnant with my daughter when I moved in. She doesn't want to leave. All of her friends are here. Her school is close," said Stapleton. "I feel that way, somebody can just bulldoze all of our trailers and make more money but this is our home. This is where we live. "

The Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition said, technically, Haven Park Capital can do this, but shouldn't.

"Really some of the most economically vulnerable people in our community are the hardest hit by this change," said Barron.

"I checked with Holiday and they're about $300 or $400. But to move my trailer would cost $4,000 or $5,000," said Lund. "That would put me in debt for four to five years because I'm on social security. I can't physically work a 40 hour week anymore."

KCRG-TV9 reached out to Haven Park Capital for comment but did not immediately hear back.

More than 18,000 people live in North Liberty right now. The Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition considers about 1,200 households there have "very low-income" residents who are struggling to pay for the basics.
