A disabled tenant has filed a lawsuit against the owners of a recreational vehicle park, alleging a campaign of discrimination and retaliatory eviction. On January 12, 2026, Daniel T. Doria filed the complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona against Happy Jack Lodge, LLC; Robert Haws; and Gust Rosenfeld P.L.C.
The case revolves around allegations that the defendants conspired to deprive Doria of his housing rights by refusing reasonable accommodations and manufacturing pretextual lease violations. Doria claims that these actions were taken to circumvent protections afforded under the Arizona Recreational Vehicle Long-Term Rental Space Act. According to the complaint, Doria seeks injunctive relief to prevent an illegal lockout, declaratory relief affirming his rights under state and federal law, and damages for emotional and financial harm inflicted by what he describes as malicious conduct by the defendants.
Doria’s legal battle began when he made a formal request for reasonable accommodation regarding his tenancy at Cottonwood Springs RV Park. Instead of engaging in an interactive process required by law, Doria alleges that the defendants began scrutinizing his tenancy to find reasons for eviction. In November 2025, they issued an “Immediate Hazard” eviction notice based on dog-sitting activities authorized by his lease—activities common among other residents who were not targeted for eviction.
The complaint accuses Robert Haws and Gust Rosenfeld P.L.C. of directing a legal strategy designed to render Doria’s discrimination claims moot in state court while preparing a second eviction based on new theories. This strategy allegedly included coercing Doria into agreeing to a voluntary move-out date under threat of having his home illegally towed.
Doria is seeking several forms of relief from the court: declaratory judgment confirming that his tenancy is governed by the Arizona RV Long-Term Rental Space Act; preliminary and permanent injunctions preventing further attempts at eviction or interference with his living conditions; compensatory damages exceeding $75,000 for economic loss and emotional distress; punitive damages for intentional disregard of civil rights; and coverage of legal costs.
Representing himself pro se, Daniel T. Doria is fighting this legal battle without formal representation from an attorney. The case has been assigned Case No.: CV26-08003-PCT-JJT in front of Judge John J. Tuchi.
