Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-2101
Application; duration of stay; exclusions; notice and pleading requirements
Operative Text
A. This chapter applies to, regulates and determines rights, obligations and remedies for a recreational vehicle space that is rented in a recreational vehicle park or mobile home park by the same tenant under a rental agreement for more than one hundred eighty consecutive days. For a park model or park trailer that is located in a recreational vehicle park or mobile home park, this chapter applies if the space is rented by the same tenant for more than one hundred eighty consecutive days without regard to whether a rental agreement is executed. B. This chapter does not apply to mobile homes, manufactured homes and factory-built buildings or to a property with one or two recreational vehicle rental spaces. C. Notwithstanding any other law, an agency of this state and an individual court may not adopt or enforce a rule or policy that requires a mandatory or technical form for providing notice or for pleadings in an action for forcible entry or forcible or special detainer. The form of any notice or pleading that meets statutory requirements for content and formatting of a notice or pleading is sufficient to provide notice and to pursue an action for forcible entry or forcible or special detainer.
A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. establishes the legal framework governing recreational vehicle (RV) spaces rented in RV parks or mobile home parks when the same tenant occupies the space for more than 180 consecutive days. For park models or park trailers, the 180-day threshold applies regardless of whether a formal rental agreement exists. The chapter does not cover mobile homes, manufactured homes, factory-built buildings, or properties with only one or two RV rental spaces, and it bars state agencies and courts from requiring mandatory or technical notice or pleading forms in eviction-related actions.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq., operators of RV parks or mobile home parks generally track how long each tenant has continuously occupied a space, since the chapter's protections and obligations activate once a tenant surpasses 180 consecutive days. Compliant park operators also recognize that park models and park trailers trigger coverage based solely on duration of stay, not on whether a written rental agreement was signed. When pursuing a forcible entry or detainer action, operators typically use notices and pleadings that satisfy the statutory content and formatting requirements rather than relying on any state-mandated form, since no such mandatory form may be required.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. provides rights and remedies to tenants who have rented an RV space in a qualifying park for more than 180 consecutive days, and tenants in park models or park trailers gain those protections based on duration alone, even without a signed rental agreement. If a landlord attempts to use an eviction notice or court pleading that does not meet statutory content and formatting standards, a tenant may be able to raise that deficiency as part of their response in a forcible entry or detainer proceeding. Tenants who believe their rights under this chapter have been violated can explore options such as contacting a local tenant-rights organization or consulting with a legal aid provider familiar with Arizona landlord-tenant law.
