COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS	NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LEGAL MATTERS The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that any such claim or litigation will have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, or results of operations of the Company. The Company and S&F have an agreement with 21st Mortgage Corporation (“21st Mortgage”) under which 21st Mortgage can provide financing for home purchasers in the Company’s communities. The Company does not receive referral fees or other cash compensation under the agreement. If 21st Mortgage makes loans to purchasers and those purchasers default on their loans and 21st Mortgage repossesses the homes securing such loans, the Company has agreed to purchase from 21st Mortgage each such repossessed home for a price equal to 80% to 95% of the amount under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments. This agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days written notice. As of December 31, 2022 the total loan balance under this agreement was approximately $1.1 million. Additionally, 21st Mortgage previously made loans to purchasers in certain communities we acquired. In conjunction with these acquisitions, the Company has agreed to purchase from 21st Mortgage each repossessed home, if those purchasers default on their loans. The purchase price ranges from 55% to 100% of the amount under each such loan, subject to certain adjustments. As of December 31, 2022, the total loan balance owed to 21st Mortgage with respect to homes in these acquired communities was approximately $1.1 million. Although this agreement is still active, this program is not being utilized by the Company’s new customers as a source of financing. S&F entered into a Chattel Loan Origination, Sale and Servicing Agreement (“COP Program”) with Triad Financial Services, effective January 1, 2016. Neither the Company, nor S&F, receive referral fees or other cash compensation under the agreement. Customer loan applications are initially submitted to Triad for consideration by Triad’s portfolio of outside lenders. If a loan application does not meet the criteria for outside financing, the application is then considered for financing under the COP Program. If the loan is approved under the COP Program, then it is originated by Triad, assigned to S&F and then assigned by S&F to the Company. Included in Notes and Other Receivables is approximately $58.2 million of loans that the Company acquired under the COP Program as of December 31, 2022. The Company and one of its subsidiaries are parties to a Limited Liability Company Agreement dated as of December 8, 2021 with an affiliate of Nuveen, which governs the joint venture between the Company and Nuveen. The LLC Agreement provides for the parties to initially fund up to $70 million of equity capital for acquisitions during a 24-month commitment period, with Nuveen having the option, subject to certain conditions, to elect to increase the parties’ total commitments by up to an additional $100 million and to extend the commitment period for up to an additional four years. The Company is required to fund 40% of the committed capital and Nuveen is required to fund 60%. All such funding will be on a parity basis. The Company and Nuveen are continuing to seek opportunities to acquire additional manufactured housing and/or recreational vehicle communities that are under development and/or newly developed and meet certain other investment guidelines. The Company and Nuveen have informally agreed that any future acquisitions would be made by one or more new joint venture entities to be formed for that purpose and that the existing joint venture entity formed in December 2021 will not consummate additional acquisitions but will maintain its existing property portfolio. While the terms and conditions of such new joint venture entities have not been fully negotiated, it is expected that invested capital would continue to be funded 60% by Nuveen and 40% by the Company on a parity basis and that other terms would be similar to those of the existing joint venture, except that the amounts of the parties’ respective capital commitments will be determined on a property-by-property basis.
