HB 2565: landlord tenant; notice; assistance information

HB 2565 requires Arizona landlords to provide tenants in writing, at the start of a lease, with details about property management, ownership, and the state's landlord-tenant laws (available on the Arizona Department of Housing website). It also mandates that landlords include eviction prevention resources - such as the website azcourthelp.org or local assistance services from the Department of Economic Security - in any written notice of lease violations or nonpayment. These requirements apply directly to all residential landlords and tenants in Arizona, aiming to improve transparency and access to support. The bill does not change existing tenant or landlord obligations but adds specific disclosure rules to existing law.

HB 2357: class one property; assessment ratio

HB 2357 gradually reduces the property tax assessment ratio for Arizona's "class one property" (primarily primary residences) over time. It lowers the percentage of a home's full cash value used to calculate property taxes, starting at 25% through 2005 and decreasing step-by-step to 15.2% by 2027. The bill directly affects residential property owners by reducing their taxable value year-by-year as specified in the amended statute. This change is a concrete policy adjustment to property tax calculations, not an immediate tax cut.

HB 2667: homebuyer assistance programs; requirements

This bill sets requirements for Arizona's homebuyer and downpayment assistance programs. First-time homebuyers must be Arizona residents for two years before applying, occupy the home as their primary residence for two years, and cannot use it as a vacation or short-term rental (per defined statutes) until repaying program funds. It also prohibits out-of-state investors from accessing these programs. These rules apply directly to state-run assistance programs and their recipients.

HB 2632: landlords; tenant's marijuana use

HB 2632 prohibits landlords in Arizona from terminating a tenant's rental agreement solely due to the tenant's marijuana use. This bill directly affects residential tenants who use marijuana, protecting them from eviction based on that use alone. The key provision amends Arizona law to explicitly state that landlords cannot use a tenant's marijuana use as a reason for termination. The bill does not change other aspects of rental agreements or marijuana laws, only addressing landlord-tenant termination decisions. It is currently in early legislative stages (House first and second readings).

SB 1558: mobile home parks; utilities; remedies

SB 1558 requires mobile home park landlords to provide clear, itemized utility bills showing separate meter readings, standard residential rates (not higher), and a maximum $8 administrative fee. Landlords cannot charge more than what they pay utility providers for gas, water, or electricity, and must disclose billing details in rental agreements. Tenants can file complaints after 30 days if landlords violate these rules, with courts able to award fees and up to $500 penalties for violations. The bill aims to prevent overcharging and improve transparency in mobile home park utility billing.

HB 2739: landlord tenant; senior rental limits

HB 2739 would limit annual rent increases for Arizona tenants aged 65 or older to a maximum of 3%. Landlords renting to seniors would be prohibited from raising rents by more than this percentage each year. The bill directly affects senior renters in Arizona and their landlords, aiming to provide housing cost stability for fixed-income residents. Currently pending in the Arizona legislature (after House first and second readings in January 2026), it has not yet become law.

SB 1506: recording fees; unlawful restrictions; exemption

Arizona's SB 1506 exempts county recorders from charging fees when processing documents that remove unlawful restrictions from property records. Specifically, it eliminates fees for amendments to governing instruments (like condominium or planned community declarations) that remove restrictions based on race, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, or disability - violating fair housing laws. This directly affects property owners, communities, and developers seeking to comply with civil rights laws by removing discriminatory clauses from property documents. The bill modifies existing fee structures to ensure no cost barrier exists for correcting such unlawful restrictions.

SB 1480: crime-free lease addendum; renters.

SB 1480 prohibits landlords from including in lease agreements any clause that would evict a tenant based on the criminal conviction of the tenant or a guest, specifically targeting "crime-free" lease addendums. This law directly affects landlords who use such addendums and tenants who might have faced eviction under these terms. The key provision makes any eviction clause related to criminal convictions in a "crime-free" lease addendum unenforceable. The bill does not change other eviction reasons but removes this specific practice from lease agreements.

HB 2362: property classification; short-term rentals

HB 2362 requires owners of residential rental properties in Arizona, especially short-term rentals (less than 30 days), to register specific details with their county assessor. This includes owner contact information, property address, year built, and confirmation of short-term rental status. If owners fail to register, tenants can terminate leases and demand refunds of prepaid rent within 10 days, and cities/towns may impose daily fines of up to $150 for non-compliance. The bill directly affects rental property owners (including out-of-state owners who must designate a local agent) and tenants, with enforcement handled by county assessors and local governments.
