Rent Increase Lease Confusion

Summary

Landlords in Arizona must provide at least 30 days notice for rent increases on a month-to-month lease. For fixed-term leases, rent increases are typically not allowed until the lease term ends unless specified in the lease agreement. Review your lease for specific clauses about rent increases. If unclear, consult a local attorney for advice.
