This bill proposes several updates to the Arizona Mobile Home Park Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. It introduces new requirements for landlords who charge separately for utilities, mandating that bills include detailed information such as the cost of charges, meter readings, total utility usage, and any administrative fees. Additionally, it allows landlords to recover utility charges plus an administrative fee, while prohibiting any additional charges. The bill also establishes that violations of these provisions are considered unlawful practices, enabling tenants to file complaints and seek relief in court if disputes are not resolved.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the process for tenants to terminate rental agreements due to landlord noncompliance, specifying notice periods and conditions under which agreements may be terminated. It also clarifies that tenants can recover damages for landlord noncompliance with specific sections of the law. Lastly, the bill allows administrative law judges to award damages and attorney fees to tenants in cases of landlord noncompliance, enhancing tenant protections and remedies available under the law.
