Arizona Mobile Home Park Laws — Closure Notice & Eviction Rules

Lot rent in Arizona

Arizona has no statewide cap on how much lot rent can go up. No statewide cap on the amount of a lot rent increase was found in the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ARS Title 33, Chapter 11). The Act regulates notice (90 days) and pays relocation help past a large-increase trigger instead of capping the increase.

Notice the park must give: 90 days before an increase takes effect.

Rule: ARS 33-1432(F) (each tenant shall be notified in writing of any rent increase at least 90 days before the increase, by first-class or certified mail or personal delivery); relocation trigger at ARS 33-1476.04(A)(3)

If the park closes or changes use

Closure / change-of-use notice the state requires: 180 days.

The landlord must notify the director (Arizona Department of Housing) and all tenants in writing of a change in use at least 180 days before the change in use, must tell tenants in writing about the Mobile Home Relocation Fund (ARS 33-1476.02), and may not increase rent within 90 days before giving the change-in-use notice.

Rule: ARS 33-1476.01(A)

Relocation help

Relocation help exists in Arizona: State Mobile Home Relocation Fund (ARS 33-1476.02), administered through the Arizona Department of Housing.

The lesser of actual moving expenses or $22,500 for a single-section home / $30,000 for a multi-section home. Moving expenses include stabilizing, taking down, moving, and setting up the home in the new location, which must be within the state. A tenant who abandons the home in the park instead collects 40 percent of the maximum allowable moving expense for that home, after delivering the endorsed title, lien releases, and proof that all taxes on the home are paid.

Change-of-use path (ARS 33-1476.01): the tenant must be required to move because of a change in use or redevelopment of the park.
Rent-increase path (ARS 33-1476.04): the tenant owns the home and lives in the park; the increase takes effect at expiration or renewal of the rental agreement; and the increase, alone or combined over any consecutive 12 months, is more than 10 percent plus the CPI (west-A) increase over the most recent one-year period before the increase notice.
Rent-increase path timing: at least 30 days before the increase takes effect, the tenant must submit a relocation contract to the director for approval and to the landlord, and must have a fully signed contract with a licensed installer or contractor to move the home to a specific location before the increase date. The director must approve or disapprove within 15 days; the contract is deemed approved on the 16th day if the director does not act.
A landlord who raises rent past the 33-1476.04 trigger must give all affected tenants written notice that the relocation section applies.

Rule: ARS 33-1476.01(C); ARS 33-1476.02; ARS 33-1476.04

Purchase rights when the park sells

Arizona has no park purchase-opportunity law in the national NCLC survey (September 2026). That is a sourced fact, not a gap in our reading: the survey covers every state's manufactured-home community purchase law, and Arizona is not in it. When a park sells here, residents' rights come from the lease, the notice rules, and the eviction framework on this page — not from a purchase window.

Eviction ground rules

Arizona park tenancies are governed by the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ARS Title 33, Chapter 11, sections 33-1401 et seq.). The Act's strongest built-in protections are procedural and financial rather than a rent cap: 90 days' written notice of any rent increase (33-1432(F)), 180 days' notice of a change in use (33-1476.01(A)), and relocation fund payments on a change of use or past the large-increase trigger (33-1476.01, 33-1476.04).

Rule: ARS 33-1432(F); ARS 33-1476.01; ARS 33-1476.04
