HB 2200 Summary

• Amends Arizona law governing mobile home park terminations and change-of-use procedures for landlords and tenants.

• Modifies notice requirements for change-in-use evictions: if city/town approval is required, tenants receive 180 days' notice after final government approval rather than before the change in use occurs.

• Increases relocation assistance payments: raises moving expense reimbursement caps to $7,500 for single-section homes and $12,500 for multisection homes, with annual 3% increases.

• Prohibits landlords from accepting new mobile home contracts once change-in-use proceedings begin with the city or town, and requires landlords to maintain property grounds and services until all tenants vacate.

• Makes it a class 6 felony for landlords to use intimidation or subterfuge (such as cutting utilities or bringing construction equipment) to force tenants to vacate during change-of-use proceedings.
