Arizona AG orders Quartzsite RV park to restore power amid heat wave, stop evictions
Original source: news.azpm.org

In Brief

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has ordered the owners of Pit Stop RV Park in Quartzsite to restore electricity and halt evictions, citing potential violations of state laws. Residents include elderly and disabled people vulnerable to extreme heat.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has sent a directive to the owners of Pit Stop RV Park in Quartzsite, Alejandro and Ignacio Garcia, demanding the restoration of electricity and an end to what she called an apparent unlawful eviction. The letter states that the power was cut after a 48-hour eviction notice, potentially violating the Arizona RV Long Term Rental Space Act and the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act.

Residents include elderly and disabled individuals, particularly vulnerable to extreme heat. Temperatures in Quartzsite have exceeded 100°F (about 38°C) daily, reaching 104°F (40°C). Mayes demanded power be restored by 5:00 p.m. on May 14 and that water and electricity remain on until lawful termination of tenancy. Owners are prohibited from evicting residents until compliance, with fines of up to $10,000 per violation.

Power restored, but fear remains at Quartzsite RV park

Electricity was restored Wednesday afternoon at the Pit Stop RV Park in Quartzsite, Arizona, after an unexpected shutoff left some residents without power for days or weeks. Residents reported no warning or explanation, raising concerns for those with medical needs and extreme heat conditions exceeding 100°F. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes issued a cease-and-desist letter to the property owners, citing the shutoff and a 48-hour eviction order as endangering lives. As of Thursday, only three RVs remained on site from at least 20.

Asotin shuts down RV dump site after weeks of heavy use

The city of Asotin, Washington, has temporarily closed two waste disposal sites used by RVers and rafters due to a record surge in usage. The influx overwhelmed the local wastewater treatment plant, prompting officials to schedule a public hearing on August 24 to decide whether to continue the service. The sites include a free RV dump and a BLM-owned SCAT machine.
