LAKE ELMO, Minn. – People living in a manufactured home park turned to the city council for help on Tuesday, asking for help with what they call unreasonable rent increases and enforcing ordinances. But that's not the only thing they say is happening at Cimarron Park.

Cimarron Park in Lake Elmo is home to about 500 families. People own their manufactured home but rent the land. They say the rent increase doubled in January while they're getting less and less.

"My concern is the heart of this community is are veterans and senior citizens and they're fixed incomes, they're being priced out of their homes," Brey Mafi said.
