questions & answers

Question: Can a tenant in an RV pk. Who has resided in the park for ten years be evicted because the trailer resided in is deemed to Old even though the condition is good & well kept inside & out?

Answer: The Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act only addresses the issue of the age of a mobile home in this context in one section – A.R.S. 33-1452(M) – which states that “On the sale of a mobile home that was manufactured after June 15, 1976 to a tenant who is otherwise qualified for tenancy, a landlord shall not require removal of that mobile home from the mobile home park solely because of the age of the mobile home. A landlord may require the removal of a mobile home on the sale of the mobile home solely because of the age of the mobile home if the mobile home was manufactured on or before June 15, 1976. This subsection shall not be construed to preclude a landlord from prohibiting a mobile home from being moved into a mobile home park solely because of the age of the mobile home without regard to its date of manufacture.” A legal advocate may be able to help you determine what your specific rights and responsibilities are.
