HB2381: mobile homes; recreational vehicles; fund

Sponsor: Representative Gress, LD 4

Transmitted to the Governor

Overview

An emergency measure that increases certain disbursements from the Mobile Home Relocation Fund (Fund).

History

The Fund provides relief to tenants required to relocate due to: 1) a change in land use; 2) rent increases; or 3) community age restrictions. Current law allows a tenant moving due to change in land use to receive Fund disbursements up to $7,500 for single section mobile homes or $12,500 for multi-section mobile homes in relocations within 100 miles from the vacated mobile home park (A.R.S. § 33-1476.01).

Each owner of a mobile home located in a mobile home park who does not own the land on which the mobile home is located are annually assessed a rate of $.5 per $100 of a taxable assessed valuation. Monies collected from the annual assessment are deposited into the Fund (A.R.S. § 33-1476.03).

Provisions

1. Instructs a landlord to extend the time for repairs, from 14 days to 60 days, if the tenant presents a signed contract with a contractor showing the material noncompliance breach will be repaired within 60 days of the notice of a breach in the rental agreement. (Sec. 1)

2. Increases the maximum amount of Fund monies a tenant required to relocate due to a change in use or redevelopment of the mobile home park may receive from:
