landlord tenant act; attorney general.

SB 1180 adds a new enforcement provision to Arizona's landlord-tenant law, specifying that violations of the existing landlord-tenant chapter are considered unlawful practices under consumer fraud law. It grants the Arizona Attorney General authority to investigate these violations and take action under two specific legal sections (title 44, chapter 10, article 7 and title 41, chapter 9). This bill does not change tenant or landlord rights but clarifies that the Attorney General can enforce the law through consumer fraud or civil rights mechanisms. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on enforcement authority, not new tenant protections. It was introduced in the Senate on January 27, 2025, and is in early review stages.
