Maintenance & Management
The Cliffs Mobile Home Park is owned and managed by Kingsley Management Corp., a Utah corporation. The park manager and a maintenance person live at the park. The current monthly space rent for new lessees is $1,787 per month in the Lower Cliffs and $1,837 per month in the Upper Cliffs. Historically, rent has increased about 3.8% per year, but more recently at a slightly higher rate due to inflation, capital improvements, and other contractually permitted factors.

Rent Payments
Residents can hand a check to office staff during business hours, mail a check, have a check mailed to the office via a resident’s online banking, or use Kingsley Management’s online PayLease system, which automatically debits a resident’s bank account for the correct amount at the beginning of each month. You can sign up for PayLease at http://resident-portal.kmcmh.com. Do not leave checks in the mailbox or The Cliffs dropbox.
Residents who wish to pay with cash can obtain a PayLease Community Payments Card, and use it to pay their rent with cash at Walmart, Kmart, Ace, or other stores. Contact the park office for more information about this option.
Rent payments must be received by the park by the 6th of the month to avoid a late-payment charge, which can range from $30 to $50, depending on when payment is received.

Who Is Responsible?
In most cases, it is fairly clear whether a maintenance item is the responsibility of the homeowner or of the park: The homeowner is responsible for maintenance of the home and accessory structures (sheds, carports, awnings, etc.) and for landscaping of the homesite, and the park is responsible for maintenance of the common areas. However, responsibility for two items — trees and driveways, both of which may have been placed there by the park — is sometimes less clear.
Although the lease and the rules and regulations say that maintenance of trees planted by the park is the responsibility of the homeowner, in practice, the park, from time to time, hires a landscaping company to trim the trees. However, clearing the debris (leaves, berries, pods, etc.) dropped by the trees is the responsibility of the homeowner. (We often let the twice-monthly street-cleaning service do part of the work.) Removal of dangerous trees requires permission of Management, and is performed by them or someone they hire.
Often tree roots cause bulges and/or cracks in driveways and other pavement, which can be hazardous to pedestrians. Management will usually grind down any bulges to remove hazardous conditions reported to them.
