Arizona AG Sues Tucson Mobile Home Park Over Dangerous Electrical System

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a consumer fraud lawsuit against the owners and operators of Redwood Mobile Home Park in Tucson, alleging they failed to inform residents about the park's outdated, overloaded, and dangerous electrical system. The electrical issues have caused frequent and lengthy outages, leaving residents without air conditioning during extreme heat spikes, creating potentially deadly conditions, especially given that mobile homes heat up faster and are harder to cool. Mayes had previously issued a cease-and-desist letter demanding the park upgrade its electrical system, but after the deadline passed without compliance, she escalated the matter with this lawsuit. The suit accuses Redwood Thunderbird MHPS LLC and BoaVida Communities LLC of violating the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act through deceptive omissions and misrepresentations regarding the park's electrical capacity. Mayes emphasized the serious health risks posed to residents, warning property managers that negligence in maintaining safe electrical systems will result in legal action. The lawsuit seeks penalties, an injunction to prevent further violations, and a jury trial, highlighting the urgency of protecting vulnerable mobile home residents amid Arizona's extreme summer heat.
