The Arizona Landlord Tenant Act and Mobile Home Act describe and provide language required in noncompliance notices for tenants. This includes nonpayment of rent, immediate notices for criminal activity and failure to maintain or unauthorized guest type noncompliance notices.
For Apartments, single family homes, duplexes or mobile homes where the landlord owns the mobile home and the space, ARS 33-1368 is our “magic” statute. The mobile home act has a similar statute ARS 33-1476. Both statutes require the written notice for violation of the lease include the following:
- A detailed description of the lease violation
- The time period the tenant has to correct the violation (if applicable)
- A statement of the landlord’s intent to terminate the rental agreement if the violation is not remedied including filing an eviction action and possible removal by law enforcement.
Each type of violation notice has its own nuances, but please review your forms to ensure they all include the above three critical pieces of information.
