Resident in Edgewater, Florida , January 2025

Sun Communities regardless of intent is harming us both physically, and financially each and every day. Being inept, unfortunate, and/or incompetent doesn't release you from your contractual obligation. Sadly Sun Communities thinks it does!" Resident in Edgewater, Florida , March 2025
"We pay our Taxes, We pay our Lot Rent, We deserve JUSTICE!" Resident in Edgewater, Florida , June 2025

Should I live in a Sun Communities Park?
What are the Problems with Sun Communities, Inc??
** Read Carefully Before Choosing to Buy, Rent, and/or Live in a Sun Communities owned Park **
1. Governance and Financial Reporting:
Undisclosed CEO Loans: Allegations surfaced that the CEO of Sun Communities received undisclosed loans, including a $4 million mortgage from the family of a purportedly independent director.
Insider Trading & Misrepresentation: The lawsuit claims that board members engaged in insider trading and the company failed to disclose significant financial dealings, potentially including a mortgage for DH Bingham Farms LLC signed by the CEO.
Weaknesses in Internal Controls: Sun Communities announced the discovery of major weaknesses in its internal controls and financial reporting, which may be connected to the alleged undisclosed loans and other governance concerns.
Misleading Financial Statements: The class action lawsuit alleges that Sun Communities made false and misleading statements about its financial health and governance practices, despite presenting positive financial metrics.
2. Tenant and Community Issues:
Failure to Maintain Properties: Some complaints point to poor maintenance of properties, including issues with roads, utility lines, and common areas, with allegations that the company fails to uphold promises made to residents. One example: Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida has been without one of its premier listed amenities for more than 16 months. More reports from Hacienda Del Rio also include: pavement potholes, pools, and spas down sometimes for week and months, and deluxe lot aquatic ponds with algae blooms due to non-timely repairs to aerators and pumps, as well as ecosystem-treatments not performed in a timely manner.
Examples of failing to maintain the property and amenities at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida are below:
Increased Rents: Residents have expressed concerns about rising rents when amenities that are promised in the Prospectus/Offering are not available.
Deceptive Practices: Many residents at numerous Sun Communities locations have reported the corporations use of deceptive practices.
One example of a report is from the residents at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida who have reported that the Sun Communities motto is to: Deny, Deflect, and when that fails flat out Deceive the residents/tenants.
The example is evident in the screen capture and photo below: As of July 15th, 2025 no evidence of reconstruction is visibly evident nor have any residents been notified of a repair schedule for the piers at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida. Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida has been without this amenity for more than 16 months.
On the Sun Communities USA Website for Hacienda Del Rio, in Edgewater, Florida Sun states "The Piers are CURRENTLY UNDERGOING RECONSTRUCTION", nothing is farther from the truth.
There is no work being done on the piers, and As of July 15th, 2025 there are no current permits in place with the Army Corps of Engineers for the RECONSTRUCTION.
Above is an email from the Community Manager at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida misleading a resident/tenant in written form about the repair status of the Piers. Notice the mention of a vendor, permits, and a timetable. A complete fabrication, and an attempt to deceive the paying customers/tenants/residents of Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida.
Another example of a Sun Communities deceptive practice below. Remember Deny, Deflect, and when that fails flat out Deceive!
Listen to the lies told to the Residents at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida directly to their faces in a public setting at their HOA meeting December 3rd, 2024.
Lying about acquired permits, lying about supposed repair timeframe's, and these lies were told by the Assistant Community Manager under the direction of the now disgraced and terminated Senior Community Manager, who at the time knew he was being recorded. He even stated on video that Sun Communities would essentially break the law, and would proceed with work on one of the two piers even if the repair and/or reconstruction plan was not approved by the governing authorities at that time.
As of July 15th, 2025 no evidence of reconstruction is visibly evident nor have any residents been notified of a repair schedule for the piers at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida. Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida has been without this amenity for more than 16 months.
Poor Management Responsiveness: Complaints highlight difficulties in reaching management and getting issues resolved, leading to frustration and unanswered questions.
Evictions and Allegations of Discrimination: One review mentions that a resident is facing eviction and alleges racist administration against Latinos.
Retaliatory Conduct: This occurs when a landlord or property manager takes action against a tenant in response to the tenant exercising their legal rights, such as filing a complaint about housing conditions or reporting discriminatory practices. Retaliation is illegal under various state and federal fair housing laws. There are many reports of Sun Communities allowing this to occur in many locations across the United States.
Selective Enforcement: This happens when a landlord enforces rules inconsistently or unevenly, favoring certain tenants over others. Selective enforcement can be seen as discriminatory if it disproportionately impacts tenants based on protected characteristics like race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disability. There are many reports of Sun Communities allowing this to occur in many locations across the United States.
Discrimination: Federal civil rights laws prohibit landlords from discriminating against tenants based on protected characteristics in areas such as renting, selling, and financing housing. This includes practices like steering, denying housing opportunities, setting different terms, conditions, or privileges for sale or rental of a dwelling, and advertising or making any statement that indicates a preference, limitation, or discrimination. There are many reports of Sun Communities allowing this to occur in many locations across the United States.
Rogue Community Managers: Residents have expressed concerns about Community Managers engaging in hostile, abusive, and retaliatory behavior. One report states that a Sun Community Senior Manager in Edgewater, Florida would frequently tell paying residents/tenants when they questioned the managers truthfulness that "their time at Hacienda Del Rio in Edgewater, Florida has come to an end", and that they should sell their homes and move. That manager has been terminated as of June 2025 after an onslaught of calls and complaints to the Governor of Florida, and Sun Communities, Inc. home offices in Southfield, Michigan.
Resident/Tenant Community Spirit & Morale: Essentially, Sun Communities failures transform a mobile home community into a place of anxiety, distrust, and isolation. It's a quiet, insidious erosion of the human spirit, driven by a lack of respect, communication, and a fundamental disregard for the well-being of the people who pay money for the opportunity to call these communities home.
Mobile home communities thrive on a sense of stability and predictability. When maintenance is neglected, and communication is absent, residents feel insecure – they don't know when the next problem will arise, or if Sun Communities will respond effectively.
Frustration and resentment can simmer beneath the surface, leading to increased conflict between residents and management, or even among residents themselves.
Diminished Property Values: Sun Communities through its ineptness and incompetence is causing its residents/tenants who actually own their manufactured homes direct financial harm . Online reviews and forums show a large number of bad experiences with Sun Communities parks. Many residents have expressed extreme frustration with management, responsiveness, and feeling ignored or harassed. These experiences have directly contributed to a negative perception of the communities and have made it harder "if not impossible" for residents to sell their homes at a desired and/or fair price. Some residents have reported that they have simply walked away from their homes to escape the ever increasing lot rent. Other residents have been forced to sell their home directly to Sun Communities for much less than they paid in order to escape the contractual obligation for above average lot rent. "Once you sign the contract, and begin living in a Sun Communities Park you will pay the LOT rent, even if Sun Communities has destroyed the housing market in the Park." reported one paying resident/tenant at a Sun Community in Edgewater, Florida.
3. Investor Impact:
Securities Fraud Lawsuits: Multiple class action lawsuits have been filed against Sun Communities on behalf of investors who purchased securities between February 28, 2019, and September 24, 2024. These lawsuits allege that the company made false and misleading statements and concealed crucial information, causing financial losses for investors.
Stock Price Decline: Following the report from Blue Orca Capital detailing the allegations, Sun Communities' stock price saw a decline, indicating investor concern. Information about the Blue Orca report found here.
Social Media Review and Search Engine Damage: A critical, and increasingly potent, vulnerability for Sun Communities which directly damages its shareholders is the amplification of negative feedback through the digital landscape. Sun Communities and their failures as well as bad reviews actively harm them, and search engines and AI are exacerbating the problem. Search engines like Google are increasingly leveraging AI to aggregate and analyze reviews from multiple sources – Google Maps, Yelp, Facebook, Trustpilot, and specialized review sites. This creates a much more comprehensive and dynamic picture of a company’s reputation. These systems are destroying the reputation of the corporation, and the negative information is readily accessible to every potential tenant and/or resident on the planet. This if not changed will contribute to the end of Sun Communities.
Other Federal Lawsuits: Multiple federal lawsuits are currently open naming Sun Communities as defendant. Total cumulative "DAMAGE/Penalty" estimates for these suits combined with the Securities Fraud suits could reach into the billions of dollars, potentially rendering the company unable to continue operations.
