About the Vermont Mobile Home Owners Association (VMHOA)

November 30, 2005

Those of us who live in homes on rented land as the majority of Mobile Home Owners do, have worked long and hard to protect our rights and establish laws for that purpose.

Although there are over 25,000 mobile homes in Vermont, a very small percentage of those home owners are still concerned enough to participate in VMHOA, Inc.

It has become increasingly frustrating to those of us who have continued to struggle to maintain the viability of this organization.

With continued decreasing paid membership we have decided to “fold our tent”, and quietly file to the back of the room so to speak.

The Board of Directors and current officers will remain in office indefinitely, enabling us to continue to register as a non profit organization in the State of Vermont.  We will continue the web site established last year, and our address will remain the same: 331 Tall Timbers Drive, WRJ, VT 05001. This will enable the organization to become active quickly if it is needed in future. 

Thank you for the support you have shown over the years. 

Sincerely

Dorothy A. Hayes
President VMHOA

We (VHMOA) are a Vermont Non-Profit Corporation founded in 1989.

This organization formed for the explicit purpose of informing mobile home park (MHP) residents and mobile home owners of their rights and responsibilities.

Before VMHOA, there were no laws on the books to protect you.

Since being founded in 1989, we have been instrumental in getting laws passed pertaining to water, sewer, and other habitability issues, annual mobile lot rent increase limits to a percentage of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), park closings, and many other laws to protect the rights of mobile home owners and MHP residents.

VMHOA right now needs to grow.
Without strong continued member support, our influence diminishes to change laws and have more laws passed to protect mobile home owners and MHP residents.

There is strength in numbers.
VMHOA has been working to strengthen the laws pertaining to mobile homes in parks for many years. No other organization does for you what we do. Help us to keep on working for you.

Many of you may be afraid to join, for fear of reprisals. Many might be apathetic… let someone else do it. If you want results, the results will come a little quicker when more people get involved. Join today if you don’t already belong. All it takes is $7.50 a year per household to belong and be kept informed of your rights and responsibilities.

The officers and Directors of VMHOA are unpaid workers, who do what we do because we care about our own homes, and YOURS.
