This bill proposes updates to the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act by modifying existing language and adding new provisions. Specifically, it replaces the term "forego" with "forgo" in the context of tenants waiving rights or remedies under the chapter. Additionally, it clarifies the language regarding landlord liability by changing "therewith" to "with that liability." The bill also revises the language concerning tenant penalties for calling emergency services, changing "payment of" to "pay" in the relevant section.
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 prohibit specific breeds or types of dogs. This addition aims to protect tenants' rights regarding pet ownership while residing in rental properties. Overall, the bill seeks to modernize the language of the statute and enhance tenant protections.
