Question: I own a mobile home in 55 plus in Mesa Arizona been here for years and we've had six managers back in 2016 the last management gave me a copy of my lease but didn't tell me I didn't have to sign it and so now I have no lease sign currently and the managent locked my gate code so I can't get in the park but my lot rent is payed up

Answer: It is usually suggested that a tenant in this sort of predicament document the situation in writing and request a written rental agreement (or a copy of the original rental agreement) from the landlord in a signed and dated letter. Under Arizona law, a mobile home park landlord may only terminate or decline to renew an existing rental agreement for “good cause” (which includes noncompliance by the tenant with any provision of the rental agreement and nonpayment of rent by the tenant) (A.R.S. 33-1476).
