Eviction Laws in Arizona – What Do You Need to Know?

Each case is unique and eviction laws can be complex, get familiar with them here.

The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act

The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act pertains to the leasing of houses, apartments, or mobile homes within a mobile home park. If you are not the owner of the mobile home you currently occupy, it is treated as a standard rental arrangement. Under Arizona law, you are required to fulfill the following responsibilities:

  1. Maintain the cleanliness and safety of the residence.
  2. Properly remove and dispose of waste.
  3. Ensure the cleanliness of all plumbing fixtures.
  4. Use electrical appliances, heating, air-conditioning systems, and plumbing in a reasonable manner.
  5. Avoid causing damage to the property or permitting others to do so.
  6. Unless otherwise agreed upon, utilize the property solely for residential purposes.

The Recreational Vehicle Long-Term Rental Space Act

The Recreational Vehicle Long-Term Rental Space Act outlines the rights and responsibilities associated with eviction when the tenant is the owner of their recreational vehicle. This law applies to various types of vehicles, including mobile homes, motorhomes, camping trailers, and truck campers. It is relevant when a tenant has entered into a rental agreement for a minimum of 180 days. This law does not apply if the tenant is renting a lot space for a recreational vehicle, park trailer, or park model.

The Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act

The Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act encompasses several eviction laws in Arizona, noting the various provisions and responsibilities for both tenants and landlords. In Arizona, mobile home parks are defined as any plots of land containing four or more mobile home spaces. This legislation places a “good faith” duty on both landlords and tenants, requiring each party to act in an honest and equitable manner. It’s important to note that this act does not extend to tenants who are leasing a mobile home.

What Are the Possible Reasons for Eviction?

In Arizona, there are several reasons why someone living in a mobile home park might be asked to leave. This typically happens when a tenant breaks the rules laid out in their rental agreement, whether it’s about the space where their mobile home is or the home itself. However, a landlord can only ask a tenant to leave if they have a good reason, and this usually falls into two main categories:

  1. Violations of the acts mentioned above
  2. Inability to pay rent

Eviction Because You Haven’t Paid Rent and You Own Your Mobile Home

In Arizona, if you live in a mobile home that you own but stop paying rent to the park owner or manager, they can start the process to ask you to leave. But, there are some rules and laws they have to follow before they can take you to court for eviction. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Notice of Nonpayment: Before your landlord can go to court, they must give you a written notice. This notice has to tell you:
    • How much money you owe, which might include rent and late fees (but they can only charge late fees after the fifth day your rent is due).
    • You have 7 days to pay up. This 7-day period begins the day after they give you the notice and includes weekends and holidays.
  2. Delivery: Your landlord has to deliver this notice to you in person or send it via registered or certified mail. If you don’t pay the full amount owed within that 7-day period, your landlord can then go ahead and file an Eviction Complaint in court.

Remember, there might be community programs that can help with financial assistance, and you could also consider getting legal support during this process.

Eviction Because You Haven’t Paid Rent and You Don’t Own The Mobile Home

If you live in an Arizona mobile home park and don’t own the mobile home, the rules for eviction due to unpaid rent are a bit different. Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Shorter Notice: In this situation, you have 5 days to pay your overdue rent instead of 7.
  2. 5-Day Notice: Before your landlord can take you to court, they must give you a written notice giving you those 5 days to pay the full amount you owe.
  3. Lawsuit Timing: The landlord can file an eviction lawsuit on or after the sixth day. This means they can start the process in court if you haven’t paid within those 5 days.

As with the previous situation, your landlord has to deliver this notice to you in person or send it via registered or certified mail. It’s important to be aware of these rules and try to resolve the situation within the specified time frame to avoid further legal action.

Eviction Due to a Breach of the Rental Agreement

In Arizona, if you’re renting a mobile home in a mobile home park, and you break the rules in your lease or rental agreement, your landlord can start the process to ask you to leave. Here’s what you should know:

  1. Notice: Your landlord has to give you a notice that tells you what you did wrong and how much time you have to fix it. The amount of time they give you depends on what you did wrong and whether you own the mobile home.
  2. Types of Notices:
    • Immediate Notice: If you did something really serious and it can’t be fixed, they can give you an immediate notice.
    • 10-Day Notice: If there are serious health or safety issues, they’ll give you 10 days to fix it.
    • 14-Day Notice: For other significant rule violations, you’ll get 14 days to make things right.

Remember, these notices have to be clear about what you did wrong and how long you have to fix it. It’s important to address the issue during the specified time to avoid further action. Arizona eviction laws without a lease also exist, with the landlord needing to provide a 30-day notice to vacate the property in this situation.

What Options Do Tenants Have When Facing Eviction?

Most evictions happen because the tenant didn’t pay their rent on time. If this happens to you, your landlord has to give you a notice within the time frames noted above. If you don’t pay during that time, your landlord can start the process to ask you to leave. While not being able to pay the rent isn’t a legal defense, you do have some options:

  1. Pay the money you owe in 5 or 7 days, depending on the notice you received.
  2. Talk to your landlord about making a new plan to pay.

If you don’t do either of these things, your landlord can proceed with the eviction. And if you owe your landlord money for the mobile home space, you can’t legally move your mobile home out of the park without written permission from your landlord. Before you move it, you’ll need to pay what you owe or make a new plan with your landlord.

Now, if your landlord is trying to evict you because you broke the rules in your rental agreement, you should get a chance to fix the problem. Your landlord has to send you a notice, and the time you have to fix it depends on what you did wrong. You’ll need to make things right within that timeframe to avoid being evicted.
