Overview
Revises the charges made by a mobile home park landlord for utilities.
History
Statute governs how mobile home park landlords charge tenants for utilities, waste removal and sewer services. Landlords that charge gas, water or electricity separately must have a separate meter for every user. Landlords that charge utilities separately cannot charge more than the prevailing basic service single family residential rate charged by the serving utility or provider. Landlords may charge separately for removal of waste, garbage, rubbish, refuse and trash and for sewer services. Such charges cannot exceed the prevailing single family residential charge, fee or rate for these services levied by the political subdivision or provider. (A.R.S. § 33-1413.14).
Provisions

2. Authorizes a landlord to recover the charges imposed on the landlord by the utility provider. (Sec. 1)
3. Allows the landlord to charge an administrative fee that is associated with submetering of up to $8 dollars. (Sec. 1)
4. Prevents a landlord from imposing any additional charges for utilities. (Sec. 1)
5. Requires the rental agreement to disclose the utility services that are charged separately and the amount of the administrative fee. (Sec. 1)
