Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1437
Education requirements for park managers; complaint; administrative hearing; civil penalty
Operative Text
A. Within six months after employment as a park manager, a park manager shall complete at least six hours of educational programs and shall complete at least six additional hours of educational programs every two years. B. A park manager shall post proof of completion of and compliance with the educational program requirements prescribed by this section in a conspicuous place at the mobile home park. C. A tenant may file a complaint with the director if, on request from the tenant, the tenant’s park manager cannot produce proof of completion of the requirements prescribed in this section. The director shall issue a show cause order to the landlord directing the landlord to provide proof that the requirements of subsection A have been satisfied. If the landlord fails to produce satisfactory evidence of compliance or fails to respond within thirty days after service by certified mail of the show cause order, the director shall impose a five hundred dollar civil penalty, with an additional five hundred dollar per month civil penalty to accrue each full calendar month beginning with the second month following service of the notice of imposition of civil penalty. All civil penalties shall be exonerated if, within six months after service of the notice of imposition of civil penalty, the landlord furnishes satisfactory evidence of compliance. Otherwise, the matter shall be referred to the attorney general for enforcement and collection of the civil penalties and a ten per cent surcharge on the total amount of the civil penalties collected. All civil penalties shall be deposited in the state general fund and the ten per cent surcharge shall be deposited in the mobile home relocation fund.
Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1437 establishes education requirements for managers of mobile home parks. A park manager must complete at least six hours of approved educational programming within the first six months of employment, and then at least six additional hours every two years thereafter. Proof of compliance must be posted visibly at the park, and failure to demonstrate compliance can trigger a formal complaint process, civil penalties starting at $500, and ultimately referral to the attorney general for enforcement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1437, compliant mobile home park operators ensure that any park manager completes the required six hours of education within six months of hire and keeps up with the six-hour biennial renewal requirement. Operators maintain and display proof of completion in a conspicuous location within the park so it is readily available if a tenant requests it. When a show cause order is issued by the director, operators respond within the thirty-day window with satisfactory evidence of compliance to avoid the $500 initial civil penalty and the additional $500-per-month accrual that follows.

A.R.S. § 33-1437 gives mobile home park tenants the right to request proof that their park manager has met the required education hours, and if that proof cannot be produced, tenants may file a formal complaint with the director. The director can then issue a show cause order to the landlord, and if the landlord fails to respond or comply, civil penalties are imposed and may eventually be referred to the attorney general. Tenants who believe their park manager is out of compliance may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Arizona mobile home park law to understand the complaint process under this section.
