landlord tenant; evictions for cause
HB 2780 amends Arizona's landlord-tenant law to clarify eviction rules for "cause," directly affecting tenants and landlords. It specifies that landlords can terminate leases for material breaches (like rent nonpayment or falsified application info) with 10 days' notice, or for health/safety issues with 5 days. For irreparable breaches (e.g., violence, drug activity, or criminal behavior), immediate termination is allowed. Crucially, landlords must provide one month's rent or relocation assistance to tenants with 12+ months of tenancy if evicting for reasons like the landlord moving in or removing the property from the rental market. The bill also prohibits tenants from withholding rent except as permitted by law and outlines procedures for utility disconnection after court orders.
