The proposed bill would amend section 33-1315 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, updating the language regarding tenant rights and landlord responsibilities. Specifically, it would replace the term "forego" with "forgo" in the context of tenants waiving rights or remedies. Additionally, it would clarify the language surrounding landlord liability by changing "therewith" to "with that liability." The bill also modifies the phrasing related to tenant penalties for calling emergency services, changing "payment of" to "pay" to streamline the text.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision stating that if a landlord permits a tenant to keep a dog on the premises, the landlord cannot impose restrictions on specific breeds or types of dogs. This addition aims to enhance tenant rights regarding pet ownership while ensuring that landlords cannot discriminate based on breed. Overall, the bill seeks to modernize and clarify existing statutes while expanding tenant protections.
