Reasons for Rent Abatement?

[Dale Degagne]

A mobile home park I'm looking at has rent abatement of around 3% of the lot rental income on the T12 (tapering off to around 1.6% in the last few months). 

What are some common reasons for rent abatement in parks and does it impact your Due Diligence at all?

This would be a big red flag for me. Why are they giving it to the residents, for how long?  I would have our attorney review the terms closely. I would be looking to understand if these would need to be offered to new residents moving in for the future or if this was a one time situation. Was it voluntary or mandated? What state is this in?
