TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – Attorney General Kris Mayes announced her office has secured $795,000 in restitution, civil penalties and fees from Palo Verde Mobile Home Park, LLC, after the company allegedly misled tenants about the usability of electricity at the Palo Verde Mobile Home Park.

The park owner acted with urgency to address electrical system repairs and replacements following the state’s initial complaint, filed Sept. 30, 2025.
“All tenants deserve habitable homes, including the ability to use electricity for critical systems like air conditioning,” Mayes said. “My office appreciates the cooperation of Palo Verde Mobile Home Park in ensuring that their tenants have proper electricity to cool their homes.”
The consent judgment, filed in Maricopa County Superior Court, resolves allegations that Palo Verde failed to provide adequate, functioning electricity to tenants from approximately 2023 to 2026. Functioning electricity is critical during the hot summer months and is necessary for tenants to use their air conditioning to cool their homes.
Settlement terms
Under the consent judgment, $130,000 will be directed toward tenant restitution and $55,000 will be directed toward civil penalties. An additional $585,000 has been or will be used for electrical system repairs and replacements, of which Palo Verde has already spent at least $300,000 on repairs. Another $25,000 will cover attorneys’ fees and costs.
Palo Verde must cause all park advertisements to depict the condition of the park accurately and adequately disclose information to prospective and existing tenants about the functionality of the electrical system, as well as a safety advisory regarding any potential hazards associated with the electrical system and all timelines for repairs, along with a 24/7 maintenance request number to call if there are additional concerns.

Palo Verde must employ a qualified professional to inspect the electrical system and recommend repairs, replacements and upgrades to meet tenant needs. Palo Verde must continue to report to the state regarding ongoing repairs at the park.
Palo Verde cannot raise existing tenants’ rent or other fees for at least two years following entry of the consent judgment to ensure no retaliation against tenants.
Eligible tenants do not need to file a complaint with the attorney general’s office. The office will send postcards to tenants at the park in the coming weeks to notify them of their eligibility to receive restitution and to provide instructions on completing a claim form.
