I have been reading the reports here on Yes Communities & I agree this company is a big rip off. I lived in a park owned purchased by them in Pearland, TX called Raintree Estates (was previously owned by Clayton Homes). Upon moving out they would not return my lot deposit of $160 or answer my emails/phone requests for my money they owed me. When living there they would not respond to simple maintenace requests, but wanted their lot rent on time or would charge a high late charge, sometimes even claiming they didn't receive mailed lot payments, so they could charge a high service fee. I feel this company is a total ripoff plus they are located in Colorado & operating out of state businesses. Even though they have a website, they would not answer my emails or phone calls and in my opinion that in itself is a very bad business practice on their part.

I was a contractor for yes communities in DFW texas and had to wait 6 or 8 weeks to get paid for my work. I was told the checks were printed and sent out or a certain date then it would take up to 3 weeks to get the check. as of today I have over $6000.00 that has been billed and have waited for over 60 days to receive the checks i have been told that the check was mailed on 11-19-2008 and here it it 12-12-2008 and still no check. how do they expect me to pay my employees if they refuse to pay in a timely manner? They want my rent on time but the refuse to pay.

As an ex-employee of one of the companies in question, I have a few suggestions for you to resolve this situation in your favor. First, in order to file any eviction proceedings, the park would have had to go to court. Were you notified of any actions against you? Most of the time these documents must be via certified mail, so it's something you would've had to sign for or pick up. Did you receive a missed letter notice and not pick it up? Also, most states require that the park give you written delinquency notice a certain time before they can file any actions. Did they notify you in writing that the lot rent was late? If so, did they wait the required amount of time before they filed the eviction action? Can they prove that they notified you? If not, take your $550 that you had to pay the park and get an attorney. Since you were locked out, if they did not follow proper procedure, in most states you can file for damages on wrongful eviction. The documentation that you received from the deputies that attended to the lock out should have info on them on the judge or magistrate that signed off on the action. I would contact your local clerk of courts and find out if you can still file an appeal. Most states give you 10 days from the decision date to file that, so you may still have that option. Another option you have,albeit not a great one, is to move the house. There are parks out there who will pay for you to move your home into them, so you have not out of pocket expenses besides paying the rent. Just because they evicted you from the park does not mean that they can hold your home hostage.If you are not behind on your mortgage, you still have every right to your home. What they will do is if you are gone for a certain amount of time, they will deem your home abandoned, and even if you are still making the payments, they will repo it, so make sure if you want to keep it that you move quickly! The bottom line is that there is a paper trail somewhere for when and how they did this. They have to follow the law, and likely did if the sheriff attended the action. That does not mean that your rignts were not violated somewhere along the lines.
