If this bill were to become law, it would introduce new provisions to the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act by adding section 33-1380. This section would establish that a violation of the 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 would empower the attorney general to investigate violations of this chapter for potential action under title 41, chapter 9. These insertions would enhance the enforcement mechanisms available for addressing violations of the landlord and tenant act, thereby strengthening tenant protections. The current statutes, as indicated by the tags, would remain unchanged.
