The proposed bill, HB2316, amends the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to increase the maximum payment amounts that tenants can receive from the Mobile Home Relocation Fund when relocating due to a rent increase or a change in community use. Specifically, the bill raises the maximum payment for a single-section mobile home from $7,500 to $12,500 and for a multisection mobile home from $12,500 to $20,000. Additionally, it increases the abandonment payment from 25% to 40% of the maximum allowable moving expense if a tenant chooses to abandon their mobile home in the park.

The bill also removes the requirement for tenants to specify a moving date in their relocation contract and eliminates the 45-day timeframe within which they must relocate after a rent increase. This change aims to provide tenants with more flexibility in their relocation process. The bill is classified as an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature.
