Arizona Eviction Notice

Use our Arizona Eviction Notice to remove a tenant from your rental property.

Published August 6, 2020

If you’re a landlord seeking to evict a tenant, use an Arizona (AZ) eviction notice to begin the process. Your eviction notice must be written according to Arizona state law, and give your tenant the legally required amount of time to respond or move out.

In Arizona, eviction lawsuits are governed by Title 33, Chapter 10, Article 4 of the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act.

What is the Eviction Process in Arizona?

Before beginning the eviction process, make sure you’ve read and understand the Arizona Rules of Procedure for Eviction Actions (RPEA). Also, consult an Arizona lawyer to ensure that you comply with the laws governing eviction actions in Arizona.

The landlord must provide their tenant(s) with the proper legal notice to officially begin an eviction.

Here are the six steps of the official eviction process in Arizona:

Step 1: Deliver the eviction notice

The landlord must deliver the appropriate eviction notice to the tenant, depending on the circumstances.

Step 2: Wait for the tenant to act

If the tenant becomes compliant with the lease (if given the option) or moves out within the required timeframe, then the landlord doesn’t need to take any further action. However, if the tenant fights the eviction notice, they must reply to the court through a Defendant’s Answer form to argue in their defense. The tenant must file the answer with the court.

Step 3: File the initial court documents

If the tenant fails to cure the breach or move out, the landlord must then file a Complaint and Summons with the Arizona Justice Court to begin the official eviction process. After filing these documents, the landlord must legally serve the tenant in the manner provided by the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.

Step 4: Attend the court hearing

The landlord and tenant must attend the scheduled court hearing. If the tenant doesn’t appear, the landlord can ask the court to sign a judgment to evict the tenant.

Step 5: File a Writ of Restitution

Once the landlord receives a judgment, they’ll then file a Writ of Restitution with the court.

Step 6: Evict the tenant

If the court grants the Writ of Restitution, the landlord provides it to the sheriff who can then physically remove the tenant from the premises.

Related Arizona Court Forms

  • Complaint and Summons (Form Instructions): The official forms filed by the landlord, requesting a court order to evict a tenant.
  • Residential Eviction Information Sheet: A document that is required to open a case that provides the court with the basic information about the parties and the case submitted by the landlord.
  • Defendant’s Answer: The official form the tenant makes a response to the eviction action and raises defenses to the claims made by the landlord in the Complaint.
  • Writ of Restitution: The official form submitted to the court by the landlord, requesting a court to use law enforcement to physically remove a tenant from property from which the tenant has been evicted.

Eviction Resources for Landlords

If the eviction notice is not legally served, a tenant cannot be removed from the rental property. A valid eviction notice must:

  • Explain the curable and incurable reasons for evicting a tenant
  • Include the date the eviction notice was created
  • Provide the tenant with the number of days they have to become compliant with the lease agreement or move out
  • Be served through the proper legal process

Learn more about the Arizona eviction process, including how to access videos, forms, and instructions on the official Arizona Courts website.

Eviction Resources for Tenants

Arizona tenants have a number of rights related to the eviction process, including:

  • The right to receive the proper legal notice before being asked to vacate a property
  • The number of days you are given to cure a breach of the lease agreement
  • The right to due process when an eviction notice has been delivered by the landlord.
