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 the relationship between marijuana use and rental agreements, leaving tenants vulnerable to potential eviction. By introducing this new provision, the bill seeks to clarify and strengthen tenant rights in relation to marijuana use, ensuring that landlords cannot discriminate against tenants for engaging in a legal activity.
