Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1433
Landlord to deliver possession of mobile home space
Operative Text
At the commencement of the term the landlord shall deliver possession of the premises to the tenant in compliance with the rental agreement and section 33-1434. The landlord may bring an action for possession against any person wrongfully in possession and may recover the damages provided in section 33-1483.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1433, at the start of a mobile home space tenancy, the landlord is required to hand over the space in a condition that meets the terms of the rental agreement and the habitability standards set out in § 33-1434. If someone is unlawfully occupying the space and preventing proper delivery of possession, the law gives the landlord a legal avenue to reclaim the space and seek monetary damages under § 33-1483. This provision establishes a baseline obligation that applies from the very first day of the rental term.
Plain English — not legal advice.
A.R.S. § 33-1433 places the obligation on landlords to ensure that a mobile home space is ready and available to the incoming tenant on the lease start date, consistent with both the signed rental agreement and the conditions required by § 33-1434. Compliant operators typically conduct a pre-occupancy inspection, resolve any outstanding habitability issues, and confirm that no prior occupant or unauthorized party remains on the space before the new term begins. When a holdover occupant or trespasser prevents timely delivery, § 33-1433 provides a legal basis to pursue a possession action and recover applicable damages under § 33-1483.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
A.R.S. § 33-1433 gives tenants the right to receive their mobile home space on the agreed start date in a condition that conforms to the rental agreement and the standards outlined in § 33-1434. If a landlord fails to deliver possession as required—whether because the space is not ready or is still occupied—this provision may be relevant to any legal remedy a tenant chooses to pursue. Tenants who believe their right to possession has been violated may wish to document the situation in writing, review the remedies available under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with mobile home park law.
