Question: While working on another house in the community the manager discovered that the neighbor had a large garden of marijuana plants. The resident claims to have a medical marijuana card. What are my rights as a community owner? Can I ask to see the card? Does the card have to be current? If he has a medical marijuana card what are my rights? If he DOES NOT have a medical marijuana card what are my rights? Finally, the smell from these plants is very pungent and other residents are complaining about the smell.

INTRODUCTION: OVERVIEW OF CURRENT LENDING CLIMATE FOR MHP'S Everyone knows that interest rates in re- cent years - in the wake of the financial melt- down that occurred in the mid-2008 to mid-2009 timeframe - have been at historic lows. While in the past few quarters of 2013 rates have crept up slightly, interest rates are still favorable from a historical perspective. Clearly, none of us have crystal balls as to how long rates will remain at these relatively attractive rates. So no guarantees on the duration of this favorable market for interest rates can be made.

Question: What records are we obligated to share with state government officials? Recently representatives of Oregon Housing and Community Services ("OHCS") were at the community and stopped by the office. They started asking for documents, copies of forms, etc. What are my rights as a manager or community owner when it comes to these types of situations?

Question: Earlier this summer an applicant applied for residency. He met our screening criteria and we sent a letter indicating that he had been accepted. The applicant lives out of town and started sending rent checks but did not sign the rental agreement. There were also repairs that we indicated to him that he needed to make before he could move in. At this point he has title to the home, refuses to sign the rental agreement and we refuse to cash his checks. What should we do?
