This bill proposes updates to the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act by amending section 33-1368. It maintains the current provisions regarding tenant noncompliance affecting health and safety, including the landlord's ability to deliver written notice for breaches and the conditions under which a rental agreement may terminate. Notably, it removes the word "However" from the existing text, streamlining the language regarding the remediation of breaches. The bill also clarifies that the list of actions constituting a material and irreparable breach is not exhaustive.
Additionally, the bill introduces new provisions regarding the reinstatement of rental agreements. It specifies that a rental agreement shall be reinstated if the tenant pays all past due rent and reasonable late fees before a special detainer action is filed. After such an action is initiated, reinstatement is contingent upon the payment of all past due rent, late fees, attorney fees, and court costs. Furthermore, the bill mandates that any notice provided to the tenant must include the website address for azcourthelp.org, ensuring tenants have access to legal resources.
