Mesa does not require landlords to pay relocation assistance to tenants displaced by no-fault terminations or major rehabilitation. Arizona preempts local rent regulation under ARS §33-1329, leaving displaced tenants without local cash protections.
Cities like Los Angeles and Portland require landlords to pay thousands of dollars in relocation assistance when displacing tenants for owner move-in, demolition, or substantial rehabilitation. Mesa offers no equivalent. ARS §33-1329 preempts municipalities from imposing rent control or any regulation directly limiting the amount of rent or the manner of terminating residential tenancies beyond what state law allows. Combined with Arizona's lack of a just-cause eviction framework, Mesa landlords may end month-to-month tenancies with thirty days' notice under ARS §33-1375 without paying relocation. Mobile-home park closures retain a separate state-funded relocation fund.
Failing to provide thirty-day notice under ARS §33-1375 invalidates the termination, but no Mesa-specific relocation payment claim arises.
