For months now, residents of the Shawcrest mobile home community have been appealing to the Lower Township Council to help them stop what they consider unreasonable rent increases. The Cape May County Herald reports at council’s Monday, Nov. 6 meeting, mobile home residents again complained about the hikes. The solicitor said that, if a tenant feels a rent increase is unreasonable, he or she may pay the former rent and put the increase amount into an escrow account, then go to court, and the judge would render a decision. One resident said his rent has gone from $650 to $905 since May.
