This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 33-1317.01, which would explicitly prohibit landlords from terminating a tenant's rental agreement based on the tenant's use of marijuana. This insertion aims to protect tenants from eviction or lease termination solely due to their legal use of marijuana.
Currently, there are no specific statutes addressing this issue, leaving tenants vulnerable to potential discrimination by landlords regarding their marijuana use. The proposed change would provide clear legal protection for tenants, ensuring that their rental agreements cannot be unjustly terminated for this reason.
