AN INDEPENDENT RESIDENT REPORTING PROJECT
SunComplaints.com
Residents of Sun Communities properties, in their own words — documented, dated, and delivered to the people whose job it is to act.
Every community has a page
455 Sun Communities properties — every one listed in Sun's own FY2025 SEC filing — now has its own complaint and resident-report page: lot-rent history, buyback and blocked-sale records, resident stories, and the exact attorney-general route for that state.
The alleged games, explained
Residents across the Sun portfolio describe the same alleged plays again and again. Our reporting breaks each one down — what is alleged, what is documented, and what the law in your state actually says:
- The Land-Lease Trap — you own the home, they own the ground under it
- The Buyback Machine — 1,210 pre-owned home sales in one year, and a spread nobody publishes
- Rent Hikes & the Datacomp Case — the federal antitrust lawsuit, in plain English
- Pass-Throughs & Fees — when the park's tax bill becomes your bill
- The Blocked Sale — buyer approvals, stalled sales, and your right to sell
- "Act of God" — dangerous trees, deferred maintenance, and the denial letter
- Retaliation Is Illegal in Florida — the statute they hope you never read
- Regulators Are Already Watching — a state AG inquiry and a Senate probe, already on the record
Founding case — La Costa Village, Port Orange, Florida
A resident's account: a half-dead tree, reported before it fell, collapsed on a calm day and nearly killed a woman. Management removed the evidence within hours, fixed nothing, and called it an act of God. Read the case file · La Costa Village report page
