| Landlord entry notice | At least two days' notice, and entry only at reasonable times, except in an emergency or where notice is impracticable. A tenant's service or maintenance request counts as permission to enter to address that request without separate notice. Otherwise the landlord may enter only by court order, under §§ 33-1369 and 33-1370, or if the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises. Re-verified 2026-10-27. Source: A.R.S. § 33-1343 |
