Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1477
Failure to maintain by tenant
Operative Text
If there is noncompliance by the tenant with section 33-1451 materially affecting health and safety that can be remedied by repair, replacement of a damaged item or cleaning and the tenant fails to comply as promptly as conditions require in case of emergency or within ten days after written notice by the landlord specifying the breach and requesting that the tenant remedy it within that period of time, the landlord may enter the mobile home space, cause the work to be done in a workmanlike manner and submit an itemized bill for the actual and reasonable cost or the fair and reasonable value thereof as additional rent on the next date when periodic rent is due, or if the rental agreement was terminated, for immediate payment.
Arizona law under A.R.S. § 33-1477 addresses situations where a tenant in a mobile home park fails to maintain their space in a way that materially affects health and safety. If the problem can be fixed through repair, replacement, or cleaning, and the tenant does not act within ten days of receiving written notice from the landlord (or sooner in an emergency), the landlord is permitted to enter the space, have the work completed in a workmanlike manner, and bill the tenant for the actual and reasonable cost as additional rent. That bill becomes due on the next regular rent date, or immediately if the rental agreement has already been terminated.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1477, compliant mobile home park operators generally document the specific health-and-safety deficiency in writing, deliver a notice that clearly identifies the breach and requests remedy within ten days, and retain records of that notice. If the tenant does not remedy the issue in time, operators who proceed with repairs typically use qualified workers, keep itemized records of actual and reasonable costs, and add those costs to the next rent statement as additional rent. In emergency situations, the timeline for tenant compliance may be shorter than ten days, so operators generally assess urgency carefully before acting.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
A.R.S. § 33-1477 establishes that a landlord's right to enter and perform repairs—and charge the cost back as additional rent—is triggered only when a tenant's noncompliance with maintenance duties materially affects health and safety and the tenant has not responded to proper written notice. Tenants who receive such a notice may want to review whether the notice meets the statutory requirements, including whether it specifies the breach and requests remedy within the stated timeframe. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services familiar with Arizona mobile home park law can help tenants understand whether a landlord's actions under this section were procedurally proper.
