Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1434
Landlord to maintain fit premises
Operative Text
A. The landlord shall: 1. Comply with the requirements of all applicable city, county and state codes materially affecting health and safety. 2. Make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition. 3. Keep all common areas of the premises in a clean and safe condition. 4. Maintain in good and safe working order and condition all swimming pool, shower, bathhouse, electrical, plumbing and sanitary facilities, including the recreational hall or meeting facilities supplied or required to be supplied or maintained by the landlord. 5. Provide for removal of garbage, rubbish and other waste incidental to the occupancy of the mobile home space. 6. Furnish outlets for electric, water and sewer services. The landlord shall also furnish a prospective tenant with information concerning the type, size and power rating of all electrical, water and sewer connections. 7. Provide a statement of proposed interruption of utility service to the tenants within a reasonable time frame except in the case of an interruption caused by an emergency. An emergency does not include any failure or refusal on the part of the landlord to fulfill the landlord's duties and obligations as specified in this section. A statement of proposed interruption of utility service may be provided by posting an announcement of the period of the interruption in a conspicuous place within the mobile home park or by individual delivery to each tenant. B. A mobile home park landlord shall not impose any conditions of rental or occupancy that restrict the mobile home owner in the mobile home owner's choice of a seller of fuel, furnishings, goods, services or mobile homes connected with the rental or occupancy of a mobile home space unless such condition is necessary to protect the health, safety, aesthetic value or welfare of mobile home residents in the park. However, the landlord may impose reasonable conditions relating to central gas, oil, electricity or water meter systems in the park. C. For new tenants who are moving into a mobile home park, any rental agreements that are executed or adopted after December 31, 2016 shall specifically disclose in writing any requirement that the tenant maintain one or more existing trees located on the mobile home space. D. Any change regarding the tenant's obligation to maintain any one or more trees located on the mobile home space constitutes a substantial modification of the rental agreement pursuant to section 33-1452.
Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1434 sets out the baseline obligations a mobile home park landlord must meet to keep rental spaces livable. The landlord must comply with applicable health and safety codes, maintain common areas, keep utilities and facilities in working order, arrange for waste removal, and provide electric, water, and sewer connections. The law also limits a landlord's ability to restrict a tenant's choice of fuel or service providers, requires advance notice before planned utility interruptions, and mandates written disclosure of any tree-maintenance obligations in rental agreements signed after December 31, 2016.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks subject to A.R.S. § 33-1434 generally maintain a documented schedule for inspecting and repairing common areas, pools, plumbing, electrical systems, and sanitary facilities to demonstrate ongoing compliance with health and safety codes. When a planned utility interruption is necessary, compliant operators post a conspicuous notice in the park or deliver individual notice to each tenant within a reasonable timeframe — and they do not treat their own failure to perform duties as an 'emergency' exemption. Rental agreements executed after December 31, 2016 for new tenants should include a clear written disclosure of any requirement to maintain trees on the mobile home space, and any later change to that obligation must be treated as a substantial modification under § 33-1452.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1434, tenants in mobile home parks have the right to premises that meet health and safety codes, properly functioning utilities and facilities, clean common areas, and waste removal services. If a landlord fails to meet these obligations — for example, by cutting off utilities without proper notice or restricting your choice of service providers without a legitimate health, safety, or aesthetic justification — that may constitute a violation of this provision. Tenants who believe their landlord is not complying with § 33-1434 can document the conditions, review their rental agreement for relevant terms, and consider reaching out to a local tenant-rights organization, a municipal code enforcement office, or an attorney familiar with Arizona landlord-tenant law for general information about available options.
