Just to provide some color about who these unnmaed landlords are. It's liberal icons like Warren Buffet using Berthshire Hathaway to create a vertical monopoly on manufactured homes.

plus whatever shell company that is the landlord for the lots.

There were also grifters selling courses to individuals to learn them up on how to buy their own trailer parks and run them into the ground. “Get rich quick” through mobile homes was big a while back. I imagine a lot of those got bought and consolidated by funds. Easier to buy out the one owner of a park than the 40ish people that are a mix of owning the land renting the trailer, renting the land owning the trailer, etc
