Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1436
Statement of policy; amendment; contents; new statements
Operative Text
A. Before execution of the rental agreement the landlord or any person authorized to enter into the rental agreement shall provide the tenant with the statements of policy of the mobile home park and the date of expiration of each statement. The landlord or any successor in interest shall not delete or amend any statement of policy while it is in force. B. The statements of policy shall be attached to the rental agreement and shall include a statement of the following: 1. The classification of the mobile home park as a family community or a housing community for older persons. 2. The period of time before any change in use is expected. 3. Any method of determining rent changes. 4. The right of first refusal on the sale of the mobile home park if any is given to the tenants and under what conditions the right may be exercised. 5. The size and other specifications of mobile homes allowed in the mobile home park including whether the mobile home must be new or used and whether it must be set at ground level or above ground level. 6. The improvements required as a condition of tenancy. If consistent with the rental agreement, the statement of policy may require improvements that the tenant will be required to furnish, install and maintain to the mobile home space being rented and that constitute permanent improvements that cannot be removed at the expiration of the rental agreement including the estimated cost of each permanent improvement. Any change in a statement of policy regarding permanent improvements does not apply to an existing tenant or to any renewal of a rental agreement by an existing tenant. 7. That insuring the mobile home is the tenant's responsibility including fire department response insurance in unincorporated areas. C. At least sixty days before the expiration of a statement of policy, the landlord shall notify all of the tenants of any new statement of policy. D. Beginning on January 1, 2000, a landlord may have only one set of statements of policy in effect at any period of time and that set of statements of policy applies to all tenants. A landlord with more than one set of statements of policy in effect on January 1, 2000 shall provide to all tenants by February 1, 2000 a copy of the set with the longest expiration date and that set of statements of policy applies to all tenants at that park.
Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-1436 governs how mobile home park landlords must handle statements of policy — written documents that disclose key details about the park's rules, rent-change methods, community classification, and tenant rights. These statements must be provided to tenants before a rental agreement is signed, attached to that agreement, and kept intact while in force; neither deletions nor amendments are permitted during the active period. At least 60 days before a statement expires, landlords must notify all tenants of any incoming replacement. Since January 1, 2000, only one unified set of statements may be in effect at any time, applying equally to all tenants in the park.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1436, compliant mobile home park operators prepare statements of policy that cover all required topics — including community classification, rent-change methodology, right-of-first-refusal terms, mobile home specifications, required improvements, and insurance responsibility — and deliver them to prospective tenants before any rental agreement is executed. Operators keep those statements unchanged for their full effective period and issue written notice of any new statement at least 60 days before the current one expires. Because § 33-1436(D) requires a single unified set of statements applicable to all tenants, operators maintain only one active set and ensure every tenant receives it, particularly when consolidating multiple legacy policy sets.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
A.R.S. § 33-1436 gives mobile home park tenants the right to receive a complete statement of policy before signing a rental agreement, and that statement must be attached to the agreement itself. Tenants are protected from mid-term changes: the landlord cannot delete or amend any statement while it is in force, and changes to permanent-improvement requirements cannot be applied to existing tenants or their renewals. If a landlord fails to provide required disclosures or improperly alters a statement of policy, tenants may wish to review their rights under the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with § 33-1436, or explore whether a violation can be raised as a defense in a relevant proceeding.
