Attorney General Mayes Seeks Court Order to Protect Residents After Suing Redwood Mobile Home Park Owners

TUCSON – Attorney General Kris Mayes today announced that she would seek a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and Preliminary Injunction against Redwood Thunderbird MHPS, LLC, and BoaVida Communities, LLC, owners and operators of Redwood Mobile Home Park in Tucson. The TRO and PI demand that the companies immediately repair the park’s failing electrical system or provide alternative housing to residents until repairs are complete.

“Families at Redwood Mobile Home Park have been forced to live in sweltering, unsafe conditions while corporate landlords ignored their duty to provide safe and habitable living conditions,” said Attorney General Mayes. “My office is asking the court to quickly issue a temporary restraining order to protect the residents of this mobile home park.”

Attorney General Mayes filed a lawsuit against the owners and operators of Redwood last week, after sending them a cease-and-desist earlier this summer. The complaint alleges that for years, Redwood residents—many of them children, seniors, and veterans—have endured repeated power outages that cut off air conditioning during extreme summer heat, creating life-threatening conditions and fire risks. Despite knowing about these outages, and after resident complaints and a cease-and-desist letter from the Attorney General’s Office, the companies have failed to make the necessary repairs.

“Landlords, including mobile home park operators, cannot omit critical information from prospective renters – that is consumer fraud,” said Attorney General Mayes. “I will continue to aggressively enforce state law to hold landlords accountable.”
