Unjust Rent Hikes: A Single Mother's Struggle in a Trailer Park Community
Residents of a local trailer park are expressing their frustration over repeated rent increases. The first hike occurred in 2023, a mere two months after the lease was signed. The rent, which was initially $490 a month, has since jumped to $770. The residents, many of whom are lower-income families, feel that the company is taking advantage of their financial situation. The company, which owns several communities across the lower 48 states, is estimated to be making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month from these increases. Despite promises of improvements and changes following a company change, residents claim that no such improvements have been made.

Willow’s Thunder Valley Speedway returned to original owners after property dispute, foreclosure auction
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Nearly two months after being partially demolished amidst a property dispute, Thunder Valley Speedway has been reacquired by its original owners. The Wallace family, who founded the racetrack in 1978 and still live on the neighboring property, filed a notice of default back on August 1 as a response to the property’s then-owners falling behind on owner-financing payments. When those were not paid, the property went up for foreclosure auction, and with no bidders for the nearly $1 million owed, it defaulted back to the Wallace family.
