How can I get help with my lot rent? Click this link to download a detailed PDF regarding the Lot Rental Assistance Program. We have trees on our lot that need trimmed or removed, what should we do? Landowners are responsible - Chapter 7008 l. Maintain, care for, and remove, if necessary, trees on any lot, including common areas, if the tree is at least 25 feet in height or has a main stem or trunk larger than 6 inches in diameter. Such maintenance, care, and removal means those steps required to maintain a live and healthy tree condition per standard horticultural practices in accordance with the standards as set forth by the American Association of Nurserymen. Contact your management office via email with pictures and explain issue, include your HOA in the email. If not addressed, follow up every few weeks on status of trees Maintain documentation of all communications Who is responsible for the cleanup when large branches or a tree come down on the lot? The community owner is responsible for cleaning up large trees that they typically maintain. Homeowners are responsible for small branches and leaves. Who is responsible if a large branch or tree damages my home or car? The general rule is that the community owner is responsible for damages if NEGLIGENT in maintaining the tree. In a blizzard, or storm, that may be hard to prove. There is no case law that definitively answers this issue. If there is damage, the homeowner should contact their insurance company to sort out liability. Manufactured Delaware Code Online

Why your Community Needs a Home Owners Association (HOA) What is an HOA? A legal organization formed by a dedicated group of homeowners who act together on shared values and visions for their community. Why have an HOA? The concept is simple: there is great strength in numbers. Homeowners Associations give structure and legitimacy to any group of neighbors who want to organize to protect and improve their community. Homeowners Associations strengthen the voices of manufactured homeowners in negotiation, and help them to: preserve property values, create safe neighborhoods, and ensure that community management complies with the law. In short: they are assets to the community as a whole! HOAs are about protecting YOUR most important investment - YOUR home! Help protect your investment! What does membership in your HOA do for you? If your landowner decides to sell the land, only HOAs have the Right of First Offer. Landowners must inform HOAs of impending changes that will affect the community. Only HOA members benefit from arbitration winnings. To use the “Attorney Fund” for rent increases you need to be part of an HOA. Your HOA membership includes DMHOA membership. HOAs represent their community at the monthly DMHOA meetings. DMHOA membership strengthens your voice when speaking to State Legislators and introducing laws that protect and affect us. Keeps homeowners aware of what is happening within their community. Improves communications between the community and the landowner. Encourages homeowners to take a proactive role in their community.
