Mesa never imposed a local eviction moratorium during COVID-19. Tenants relied on the federal CDC moratorium until August 2021 and Arizona's brief executive order, both expired, leaving URLTA processes fully restored.
Unlike Phoenix and Tucson, which considered limited tenant-protection measures, Mesa did not enact a city-level eviction freeze during the COVID-19 emergency. Governor Doug Ducey issued Executive Order 2020-14 in March 2020 delaying enforcement of evictions for tenants impacted by the pandemic; that order expired October 31, 2020. The federal CDC eviction moratorium then governed until the U.S. Supreme Court vacated it in Alabama Association of Realtors v. HHS on August 26, 2021. After that ruling, Mesa Justice Courts resumed standard URLTA eviction timelines. The Emergency Rental Assistance Program continued distributing federal funds through 2023.
No active moratorium currently restricts Mesa eviction filings; URLTA timelines and ARS §33-1368 apply in full to every nonpayment and breach case.
