Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-2145
Remedy after termination
Operative Text
A. If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord may have a claim for possession of the recreational vehicle space and for rent and a separate claim for actual damages for breach of the rental agreement. B. In the execution of any writ of restitution issued pursuant to section 12-1178 or 12-1181, the landlord may provide written instructions to the sheriff or constable not to remove the recreational vehicle from its space, and if those written instructions are provided, the sheriff or constable may fully execute the writ of restitution by removing all occupants and their possessions from the recreational vehicle and from the space it occupies. The recreational vehicle is deemed abandoned, and the landlord may terminate any utility services that are provided by the landlord. An owner of a recreational vehicle in compliance with subsection C of this section may recover possession of the recreational vehicle while the title remains in the owner's name. C. A recreational vehicle that is subject to a judgment for forcible detainer may not be removed from its space until the tenant has received from the landlord a clearance for removal that shows that all monies due the landlord as of the date of removal have been paid or that the landlord and tenant have otherwise agreed to the removal. The landlord may agree in writing to accept other terms in satisfaction of the judgment. This subsection does not apply to any lienholder of record on the date of judgment or its successors or assigns.
Under A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2145, when a recreational vehicle space rental agreement is terminated, the landlord may pursue claims for both possession of the space and actual damages from the breach. A writ of restitution can be executed by removing occupants and their belongings without physically moving the recreational vehicle itself, at which point the vehicle is treated as abandoned and the landlord may cut off landlord-provided utilities. A recreational vehicle subject to a forcible detainer judgment cannot be moved until the landlord issues a clearance confirming that all money owed has been paid or that both parties have reached a separate agreement.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of recreational vehicle parks governed by A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2145 generally document all amounts owed at the time of termination and pursue separate claims for possession and actual damages through the appropriate court process. When a writ of restitution is issued, compliant landlords who wish to leave the recreational vehicle in place provide written instructions to the sheriff or constable and may then terminate any utilities they supply to that space. Before allowing a vehicle to be removed after a forcible detainer judgment, landlords typically issue a written clearance confirming that all outstanding monies have been paid or that a written alternative agreement has been reached.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2145 provides that even after a forcible detainer judgment, a tenant's recreational vehicle cannot be physically removed from its space until the landlord issues a clearance showing all amounts due have been settled or another agreement has been made. If a writ of restitution is executed without moving the vehicle, the vehicle is legally deemed abandoned, which can affect the rights of both the tenant and any titled owner — a titled owner who complies with subsection C may still recover the vehicle while it remains in their name. Tenants facing termination proceedings may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid provider familiar with Arizona recreational vehicle tenancy law to understand available options under this provision.
