Arizona Residential Rent Increase Notice

Arizona Residential Rent Increase Notice

Use this form after checking the lease, property, and any applicable program restrictions. Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1329(A) preempts city and town rent control on private residential property. Its exception covers residential property owned, financed, insured, or subsidized by a state or local agency; check that status before setting an increase.

Arizona Timing and Authority Gate

Do not make a rent increase effective during a fixed term unless the signed rental agreement and applicable law authorize it. Identify the lease, agreement, or program rule that permits the proposed change and any notice period it requires. Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1375(B) governs termination of a month-to-month tenancy; it does not itself prescribe a rent-increase notice period.
