Lake Hammock Village

Creating and managing Land-Lease Communities is the Heiler’s only business, and our history has been to maintain ownership as a long-term investment – not buying and selling properties. We hope our three generations of family leadership demonstrates this clearly.

Yes, the monthly fee generally increases annually in small increments. You would be hard pressed to find a community that does not have annual increases. We aim to keep increases limited to the amount necessary to maintain community standards and services that our residents want and expect. We strive to keep our lease fees in pace with the market, which has helped our departing residents realize resale values substantially above market prices.

Although in can vary from year to year, generally an increase can be based on any or all of the following:

• Rents in comparable communities.
• The Consumer Price Index (CPI) Controllable costs such as maintenance and payroll.
• Hard-to-control costs such as utility charges, rubbish costs and insurance expenses.

By law, residents receive a letter each year informing them what the increase for that year was based on.

No, there is neither an upper nor lower cap on lease fee changes.

Yes. Many residents move to our communities because of our community standards and the stability the rules create within the community environment. These standards were written based on our experience managing manufactured home communities for over 35 years in Florida, and input from past and present residents. It’s our obligation to you to ensure that they are enforced.

Yes, we understand that pets are cherished companions and an important part of many households. In all our communities, small dogs and cats are welcome inside the home. Please note that size restrictions for dogs may vary by community. Additionally, all pets must receive park approval prior to move-in.

You may sell your home independently, through a licensed agent, or by listing your home with the community sales office. Most departing residents choose us to sell their home because this is what we do for a living. In the case of an estate, the inheritor(s) may move into the home provided they meet all the applicable entry requirements or sell the home to another qualified party.
