This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 33-1380, to the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act. The new language specifies that a violation of this chapter constitutes an unlawful practice as defined by section 44-1522, allowing the attorney general to investigate such violations under title 44, chapter 10, article 7.

Additionally, the bill grants the attorney general the authority to investigate violations of this chapter for potential action under title 41, chapter 9. These insertions enhance the enforcement mechanisms available for addressing violations of the landlord and tenant act, thereby strengthening tenant protections. Current law remains unchanged, as no deletions are specified in the bill.
