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 landlords' liability by changing "therewith" to "with that liability." The bill also alters the phrasing related to tenants being penalized for summoning emergency assistance, changing "payment of" to "pay" to streamline the language.

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 the language of the statute and expand tenant protections.
