Our Demands
Landscaping & Maintenance
• Major issues (utilities, water, sewer, electricity) must be addressed within 24 hours. Residents will be compensated for any loss of utilities.
• All unnecessary tree cutting and removal must stop immediately. No tree shall be removed or trimmed without written notice, independent arborist assessment, and union consent.
• The Union must approve any large-scale park or lot changes, including tree cutting, pole removals, and infrastructure maintenance or expansion.
• All maintenance, repair, pest control, and contracted services must use licensed, community-approved vendors.
Property Management & Operations
• Recreational items such as pools, trampolines, and play structures shall be permitted when maintained safely and insured by the resident.
• Management may not enter any lot without at least 7 days’ written notice and the resident’s consent, except in documented emergencies affecting health or safety.
• Union Role in Lot Sales and Park Changes: The Union will approve all lot sales and any significant park policy changes.
• Management and the Union will meet annually to review the collectively bargained lease. No rule or lease amendment may be adopted without joint review and written approval by the Union.
• Establish a 5-year minimum lease term with flexibility to sublease or transfer.
• The Union reserves the right to buy back the park from Demetre on behalf of residents.
• All prior notices and management actions of these notices (non-renewals, evictions, fines) must be rescinded, and residents compensated for time, money, and stress caused by improper actions.
Rent & Fees
• Management must comply with the Idaho Tenant Act, giving at least 3 months’ notice before any rent increase. Any increases must be capped at 2% per year.
• No new fees (application, pet, lawn, admin, parking) may be introduced without a community (union) vote or documented justification. All utilities and administrative fees must be transparently itemized, justified by actual cost, and subject to union review.
• All residents must be reimbursed for unlawfully increased or improperly charged rent and fees (e.g., water, trash, lawn). The current ~40% rent hike and included fees will be reversed and residents compensated for overpayment prior to lease.
• Residents must be compensated for losses due to management actions (e.g., tree removal, lot disturbances).
• Any prior unpaid rent from previous months shall be cancelled and any fees which Elevate is still seeking to collect must also be cancelled.
• Tree Replacement Compensation: Any removed trees must be replaced or financially compensated for.
• Residents may rent or lease out their homes with management’s reasonable approval of the new tenant and without arbitrary fees exceeding administrative costs.
