Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1418
Incorporated tenants' park purchase association
Operative Text
A. An incorporated tenants' park purchase association may be formed for the purpose of giving written notification to the owner of a mobile home park of the association's interest in purchasing the park. B. This section does not confer a right of first refusal to an association formed under subsection A. A mobile home park sale shall not be restricted in any way to affect the marketability of title.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1401 et seq. § 33-1418, Arizona law allows mobile home park residents to form an incorporated association for the limited purpose of notifying a park owner in writing that the association is interested in buying the park. Critically, forming such an association does not create a right of first refusal, and the park owner's ability to sell the property freely on the open market is not restricted in any way. The provision balances residents' ability to express collective purchase interest with the owner's full freedom to market and sell the park to any buyer.
Plain English — not legal advice.
A.R.S. § 33-1401 et seq. § 33-1418 makes clear that if a tenants' park purchase association sends written notice of interest in buying a mobile home park, that notice carries no legal obligation to negotiate with or give priority to the association. Compliant park owners generally treat any such notification as an expression of interest only, proceeding with sales processes, marketing, and title transfers without restriction. The statute explicitly preserves the marketability of title, so operators can engage any prospective buyer without concern that the association's formation creates a competing legal claim.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1401 et seq. § 33-1418, residents of a mobile home park have the ability to incorporate a purchase association and formally notify the park owner of their collective interest in acquiring the property. However, this provision does not grant the association a right of first refusal, meaning the owner is not legally required to offer residents the first opportunity to buy before selling to another party. Tenants interested in understanding how this provision interacts with other resident protections may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review Arizona's broader mobile home park statutes.
