Can an Arizona park charge for trash and sewer separately?

Yes. Arizona Revised Statutes §33-1413.01 allows a landlord to charge separately for removal of waste, garbage, rubbish, refuse and trash and for sewer services — but those charges may not exceed the prevailing single-family residential rate set by the political subdivision or provider.

Can an Arizona park pass along higher insurance or tax costs?

Under §33-1413(I), a landlord may be entitled to a rent increase to compensate for actual costs of insurance, taxes, and utility rate increases, which must be substantiated to the tenant in writing. This is general information, not advice about a specific charge.

Where is a security deposit addressed in Arizona?

Section 33-1413 requires the rental agreement to state the amount of any security deposit. The agreement is where the specific deposit and charges are documented.

Mobile home park fees in Arizona

In Arizona, the charges a mobile home park can impose are shaped by the Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Title 33, Chapter 11). Two sections do most of the work: the general terms section and a separate section that caps certain utility and waste charges. This is general information about how the law works; for a specific charge, consider consulting a licensed attorney in Arizona.

What the statute says

Arizona Revised Statutes §33-1413.01, "Utility charges; waste, garbage and rubbish removal charges," both permits and limits certain charges:

A landlord may charge separately for removal of waste, garbage, rubbish, refuse and trash and for sewer services.

But it caps them:

Any charges for removal or sewer services may not exceed the prevailing single family residential charge, fee or rate for these services levied by the political subdivision or provider.

Separately, §33-1413(I) entitles a landlord to a rent increase to compensate for "actual costs of insurance, taxes and rate increases for utilities, which shall be substantiated by the landlord in writing to the tenant." And §33-1413 requires the rental agreement to state the amount of any security deposit.

How it works in general

Arizona ties pass-along charges to real, documented costs. Trash and sewer charges may be billed separately but cannot exceed the prevailing single-family residential rate for the area. Increases attributed to insurance, taxes, or utility rates must be substantiated to the tenant in writing under §33-1413(I). And the security deposit, like other core terms, belongs in the written rental agreement.

Common scenarios

General examples Arizona park residents commonly encounter:

A separate trash or sewer charge appears. The §33-1413.01 cap — no more than the prevailing single-family residential rate — is the reference point.
An increase is attributed to higher taxes or insurance. Section 33-1413(I) calls for written substantiation.
A dispute arises over a deposit. The agreement is where the deposit amount is required to be stated.

Other authorities that may apply

The written rental agreement supplies the specifics, and the broader Chapter 11 governs the tenancy. Utility rates can also involve the regulated provider or the political subdivision that sets them. Federal law may apply in particular situations. The statute frames what may be charged; the agreement and the provider's rates fill in the numbers.
