Renting The Lot, Owning The Home
A.R.S. 33-1413 — ninety days before a rent change, and good cause to end a tenancy
In Arizona, a mobile home park tenancy begins with a signed, written rental agreement for a specific period that states the rent and any security deposit. If the landlord and tenant cannot agree on the term, it is twelve months.
Ninety days before a rent change. On the expiration or renewal of a rental agreement the landlord may raise or lower the rent or change the payment terms, but must notify the tenant in writing, by first class or certified mail or by personal delivery, at least ninety days before the expiration or renewal. No reason for the change is required once that notice is given.
Good cause to end it. The landlord may not terminate or refuse to renew a tenancy without good cause: noncompliance with the rental agreement, nonpayment of rent, a change in use of the land, or clear and convincing evidence of a pattern of repeated violations of the chapter. The reasons must be stated in writing with specific facts; reciting the chapter's language is not enough.
Fourteen days to fix a breach. For a material breach of the rental agreement, the written notice names the breach and says the agreement ends on a date not less than thirty days after receipt unless the breach is remedied in fourteen days. If within those fourteen days the tenant shows a signed contract with a licensed contractor to make the repair within sixty days, the time for repairs extends to sixty days. A breach materially affecting health and safety gets ten days to remedy, on a notice of not less than twenty days.

A change in use of the park has its own notice and moving compensation rules in a separate section, and the eviction itself runs through the courts. Whether a reason was good cause, and whether a notice was adequate, are questions for a licensed Arizona attorney.
