As one of nine mobile home communities in the <br />City, it has been family-owned and operated since 1937. Trailer Haven currently consists of <br />139 mobile home spaces and 34 RV spaces. <br />In August 2016, San Leandro Mobile Home & RV Park, LP (dba Trailer Haven Mobile Home <br />Park) purchased the property. The new owner hired Cascade Corporation Management, an <br />experienced manufactured home property management company, to manage Trailer Haven. <br />In September 2016, Cascade provided all 139 Trailer Haven mobile home owners with 90-day <br />rent increase notices to take effect January 1, 2017. The rent increase averaged $117 per <br />trailer lot or space and was in addition to the $45 sewer and water fee that Cascade <br />implemented on the existing mobile home owners. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/13/2017 <br />142
