Arizona Residential Landlord Tenant Act

The Arizona Residential Landlord Tenant Act is the body of law that governs most residential lease issues in Arizona. This law affords residential tenants many protections and creates various procedural requirements for landlords. The Act covers rent issues, evictions, partial payment, utilities, lease termination, security deposits and much more. It is important for both landlords and tenants to follow the law because it will almost always trump the lease when there is a conflict.
