HB 2852 regulates utility billing in Arizona mobile home parks. It requires landlords to provide separate meters for gas, water, and electricity with clear billing showing meter readings, and prohibits charging more than standard single-family residential rates for utilities or waste removal. Tenants can file written complaints if landlords violate these rules, and if they win a court case or administrative hearing, they may recover attorney fees and receive penalties up to $500 per violation. The law directly affects mobile home park landlords and tenants by standardizing billing practices and strengthening enforcement mechanisms under Arizona's mobile home park tenant protections.
