• Scio Farms disability fair-housing complaint (Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan / Renaissance Community Homes v. Sun Community Homes)
  HUD complaint — resolved by settlement · U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (complaint); resolved by private settlement agreement · Docket: — · Filed: Complaint Mar 2011
  The complaint alleged Scio Farms twice denied lease applications from adult men with developmental disabilities because the leases would be signed by their guardians (and, on re-application, by representative payees as co-signers) rather than by the applicants personally — a policy the Fair Housing Center said made it practically impossible for people with developmental disabilities to live at the park.
  Outcome: Settled — Sun Community Homes paid $39,500 total ($30,000 + $9,500), plus training, policy changes, one year of compliance monitoring. Settlement, not an admission · Outcome date: May 16, 2013

• news · 2013-05-16 — AnnArbor.com report on a fair-housing settlement: after the Fair Housing Center of Southeastern Michigan and Renaissance Community Homes filed a HUD complaint, Sun Community Homes agreed (settlement signed May 16, 2013) to pay $30,000 to Renaissance Community Homes and $9,500 to the Fair Housing Center, which would monitor Sun for fair-housing compliance for a year; Sun also agreed to staff training and policy changes. The complaint alleged Scio Farms twice denied lease applications from men with developmental disabilities because the guardians/representative payees signing the lease would not live in the home, and that testing showed the policy was not applied equally (a tester posing as a student with out-of-state co-signing parents was granted a lease). Sun did not respond to requests for comment. A settlement, as reported - not a court finding. Original source

• google-reviews — Google reviews for this park: a 10-year resident says lot rent rose from $500 to $700 over that period while their trailer has been paid off since day one, and alleges that about two years ago management handed his father-in-law (who does not live there) an eviction notice after the office applied their rent to someone else's lot, despite more than five years of on-time payment. Others allege the office does not enforce any rules, streets are terrible, and the neighborhood is unsafe with constant police presence, package theft and car break-ins. Original source
