AZ HB2852

Mobile home park landlords who violate utility billing requirements (separate metering, transparent billing, rate limits) face enforcement by the Attorney General as an unlawful consumer practice under Arizona's consumer fraud statutes.

Tenants who believe their landlord is overcharging for utilities must provide written notice of the alleged violation; if unresolved within 30 days, tenants may file suit in justice court and recover court costs and attorney fees if they prevail.

Administrative law judges hearing mobile home park disputes gain authority to award damages and injunctive relief to tenants for utility billing violations, in addition to existing civil penalties of up to $500 per violation.

The bill clarifies that these remedies supplement rather than replace existing legal actions available to mobile home park tenants.
