The proposed bill amends the Arizona mobile home parks residential landlord and tenant act, introducing new provisions that enhance tenant rights and clarify landlord responsibilities. Key changes include requiring landlords to provide separate meters for utilities and detailed billing statements, ensuring that charges for utilities do not exceed the prevailing rates. Additionally, the bill mandates that mobile home park owners give tenants a 90-day notice before selling the park, including details about the sale and the opportunity for tenants to purchase the property. It also establishes a process for tenant associations to submit purchase offers and receive necessary information from the landlord.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that landlords cannot terminate tenancies without good cause, explicitly stating that failure to pay parking or pet fees does not constitute grounds for eviction. It also introduces protections for tenants' personal property during eviction processes, requiring landlords to hold such property for 14 days. The bill includes provisions for tax exclusions on capital gains from sales to tenant associations or nonprofit organizations, and it allows tenants to install necessary cooling mechanisms in their mobile homes. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen tenant protections and promote tenant ownership opportunities in mobile home parks.
