residential rental property; definition

HB 2363 amends Arizona law to define key terms for residential rental properties, including "managing agent" (a person or entity authorized to operate a property), "residential rental property" (property leased for living, including mobile home park spaces but excluding the mobile home if owned by the tenant), and "slum property" (rental property with specific health/safety hazards). The bill specifies that "slum property" includes conditions like structural damage, lack of potable water, hazardous electrical systems, or accumulation of dangerous materials. These definitions will directly guide housing regulations for landlords, property managers, and local enforcement agencies in applying safety standards.
