Landlord Tenant Eviction Process

Summary

In Arizona, even unlicensed facilities must generally follow landlord-tenant laws. A service agreement may act like a lease, requiring proper eviction procedures. Accepting partial rent can complicate eviction, potentially implying a month-to-month tenancy. Threats of bodily harm can constitute a tort of assault. Tenants retain rights post-incarceration, including housing access. If threatened, document everything and seek legal aid. Eviction requires proper notice, and landlords cannot forcibly remove tenants without following legal procedures.
