landlord tenant; late period; notice

This bill amends Arizona landlord-tenant laws to clarify procedures for handling tenant property and adjust notice periods for rent nonpayment. It requires landlords to provide 15 days' written notice (up from 5 days for some cases) before terminating a lease for unpaid rent, and specifies that this notice period applies when rent is unpaid for at least 15 days. For tenant property, it establishes a process for landlords to contact an authorized person to retrieve belongings or animals if the tenant dies or becomes incapacitated, with strict timelines for contact and disposal if no response is received. The changes directly affect landlords managing rental properties and tenants facing eviction or property recovery scenarios.
