If you are a landlord or tenant in Arizona, it’s important to be aware of the laws that govern landlord-tenant relationships.

Evictions

If you are a landlord, there are certain procedures that you must follow in order to evict a tenant from your property. These procedures are governed by Arizona law, and they can be complicated. If you try to evict a tenant without following the proper procedures, you could end up facing serious legal consequences.

Security Deposits

Another common issue that arises between landlords and tenants is security deposits. Under Arizona law, landlords are required to hold security deposits in a separate account and they must return the deposit to the tenant within 14 days after the tenancy has ended. If the landlord doesn’t return the security deposit, the tenant can sue for up to twice the amount of the deposit.

Repair and Maintenance Issues

Another common conflict that arises between landlords and tenants is repair and maintenance issues. Under Arizona law, landlords are required to keep their properties in a “habitable” condition. This means that the property must be safe, clean, and free from major defects. If your landlord fails to maintain the property, you may be able to sue for damages.

Lease Violations

If you are a tenant, it’s important to be aware of the terms of your lease. If you violate the terms of your lease, your landlord may have the right to evict you from the property. Common lease violations include having unauthorized occupants, damaging the property, or being disruptive to other tenants.
