Renter Lock Breaking Legality

Summary

In Arizona, landlords cannot enter a tenants space without reasonable notice except in emergencies. This is laid out in the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act: Landlords must give at least two days notice before entering. Entering for non-emergency reasons without notice is illegal. Tenants may sue for violations. To file a wrongful or illegal eviction claim in Arizona, document the incidents, contact a legal aid group or attorney, and file a complaint in your local Justice Court. Legal representation is recommended. Pro bono attorneys are available in Tucson, Arizona, through Southern Arizona Legal Aid, Inc. They offer free legal services to eligible individuals.
