rental property; dog breeds
Arizona's SB 1277 prohibits landlords from banning specific dog breeds in rental agreements. The bill directly affects tenants who own dogs and landlords who previously restricted certain breeds. It makes any clause prohibiting specific dog breeds unenforceable in rental contracts, and if a landlord knowingly includes such a prohibited clause, tenants can recover actual damages or up to two months' rent. The law does not change other tenant rights or eviction procedures.
