Q: We are snowbirds staying in a resort in Surprise and pay annual space rent. Large rent increases are a concern.
At what point will the corporation that owns the park, start limiting the rent increases? Do we have any renters rights in an age restricted park?
A: In Arizona, park rent is a matter of contract. Rent is specified in your lease and the landlord must abide by the terms of the lease. There are usually no limits on rent increases but the landlord must comply with the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant act in making rent increases. See ARS 33-1401, et. seq. , available online, to review all of the Arizona Statutes in the Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. A tenant can fix rent by negotiating a long term lease where possible. ARS 33-1413 K provides that a tenant can demand a lease with a four year term.
