The proposed bill would amend several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to mobile home parks, updating the responsibilities of landlords and the processes for removing mobile homes. Under the new law, landlords would be required to locate the legal owner or lienholder of an abandoned mobile home unit within ten days and communicate any costs incurred, including rent and utilities. Additionally, the bill clarifies that landlords must examine the mobile home and its contents to ensure it is not occupied or does not contain human remains or animals before signing a clearance for removal.
Furthermore, the bill introduces a standardized registration form for mobile home space renters, detailing the mobile home's specifications and any liens. It also stipulates that tenants must provide written notification to landlords regarding the removal of a mobile home, including details about the responsible party for restoring the space. The bill maintains the requirement for a written clearance for removal from the landlord, while ensuring that the landlord's examination of the mobile home is a prerequisite for this clearance. Overall, these updates aim to enhance the clarity and safety of mobile home park regulations.
