      I was a resident at ********** Estates, a UMH property in **********, ****. Upon move in, after months of waiting on a home to be ready, we finally moved in after providing a deposit November 2019. After already vacating my previous residence and getting moved in over the weekend, I was informed by the manager ***************** that there had been an issue after something changed with how they verify people for residency and I was not eligible despite being eligible in August of 2019. I had to get a friend, *******************, to help me get a lease as my family of 5 was already in the home and couldnt return to our old house. After living there until June 30, 2022, we moved out. I asked current property manager ***************** if I needed to put his name on the 30 day notice we were vacating, and she had me do so. I provided my new address, and also my email and requested an itemized list should there be anything to address. Despite having rent paid through the end of July, I gave **** the keys 3 days early at her request. At no point was a walkthrough of the home done. I recieved no list of damages not covered by the deposit and I have received no correspondence from UMH despite many attempts to resolve these matters since I found out in the fall of 2022. *** now has a debt in collections for over **** dollars and I have no information on what and have been provided nothing. This debt should have never even reached a collections agency as I made sure to provide my contact information and now a third party has been impacted as a result of being a good samaratin and friend. Just as recently as last week I called UMH corporate and was told my information would be given to district manager *****, who failed to call me back this past fall after he spoke with me when I first learned of the collection in **** name and was supposed to speak with **** but never returned any calls.

      Landlord Harassment -Mr. ********************* a regional manager for UMH couldn't have been more rude or dismissive of my concerns to the point he was screaming at me over the phone when all I was trying to do is state my concerns over the treatment we've received from the property manager in just 4 short months.We have been living in Sunny Acres in Somerset since the end of March 2022.Since then the property manager ******* has literally been stalking us, making up false allegations about our dog and now she called threatening to take us to court over a trampoline she initially told us shouldn't be a problem because it's fully secured and we purchased a one million dollar insurance rider for it.Nothing about the way this process has been handled is legal or fair. It couldn't be more hypocritical to send your property manager around to **** down "lease violations" when just a quick trip by her house will reveal she's got some violations of her own. That's not even to mention all the other violations you can easily drive around the park and count up, but she has apparently taken up a vendetta against us.She is driving by our house daily in her orange mustang just to check on us, calling multiple times with threats she plans to serve us with court papers on Monday. We have never even received the proper notification from the property regarding our alleged lease violations. Not one single certified piece of mail, only threats over the phone. None of these decisions make any sense, so instead of keeping my children safely in my backyard they want them to go wandering through the neighborhood and possibly either get hurt or get into trouble. UMH Sunny Acres needs to seriously reconsider the arbitrary manner in which they are selectively choosing residents to pick on when others have fences. basketball hoops, and wood burning fire pits. Meanwhile we still have not received several things promised in our closing contract.
