                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         Sun Communities, Inc. (the "Company") amends its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, which was originally filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2003 (the "Annual
Report"), to include, as Exhibit 99.4, the audited financial statements of its
subsidiary, Sun Home Services, Inc.

         The Company is also amending this Annual Report to update the Exhibit
List of Item 15 to reflect the filing of Exhibit 99.4 with this amendment.
Exhibit 23 has also been revised to include the consent of
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the independent auditor performing the audit on
Sun Home Services, Inc.'s financial statements. Except as described above, no
other changes have been made to the Annual Report. This amendment continues to
speak as of the date of the original Annual Report without an update by the
Company of any of the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which
occurred at a later date. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant's principal executive officer
and principal financial officer are providing new certifications pursuant to
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in connection with this amendment
and are also furnishing, but not filing, written statements pursuant to Title 18
United States Code Section 1350, as added by Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002. The filing of this amendment shall not be deemed an admission that
the original filing, when made, included any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not
misleading.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities

              and have identified for the registrant's auditors any material
              weaknesses in internal controls; and

6.   The registrant's other certifying officers and I have indicated in this
     annual report whether or not there were significant changes in internal
     controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
     controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including

     weaknesses.
