Under A.R.S. § 33-1343, an Arizona landlord must give at least two days' notice of intent to enter and may enter only at reasonable times for legitimate purposes such as inspections, repairs, or showings. No notice is required in a genuine emergency, and access may not be abused to harass the tenant.
A.R.S. § 33-1343 lets a landlord enter to 'inspect the premises, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services or exhibit the dwelling unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen or contractors.' Except in an emergency, the landlord must give 'at least two days' notice of the landlord's intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times.' The landlord 'may enter the dwelling unit without consent of the tenant in case of emergency.' Tenants may not unreasonably withhold consent, and landlords may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant.
No specific statutory penalty. A tenant subjected to unlawful entry or harassment may obtain injunctive relief and recover actual damages, and a landlord who is unlawfully denied access may likewise seek a court order or damages.
