Eviction Process In Arizona

Summary

In Arizona, landlords must provide a written notice for eviction, and the reason must be valid under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. For non-payment of rent, a 5-day notice is required. If a judgment has been awarded, landlords can file a Writ of Restitution. Accepting rental assistance that covers the full back rent may affect the validity of the eviction for non-payment. Consult a local attorney for specific advice.
