In response to an increasing number of complaints the Attorney General’s Office has received from consumers at mobile home parks and manufactured home communities about high utility bills for utility services, Attorney General Kris Mayes is reminding all mobile home parks in Arizona about their obligations regarding submetering and billing under Arizona law. Certain parks and communities in Arizona may not be complying with the laws applicable to them, including permissible billing practices under the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, A.R.S. §§ 33-1401 through 33-1501 (the “Mobile Home Act”). Instances of overbilling and unfair eviction tactics may also separately violate Arizona’s consumer fraud laws. 

“When parks misrepresent the tenants’ actual usage, omit critical meter information, or deceive tenants about the appropriate rate structure, they do so at their own peril,” said Attorney General Mayes.
