Rent control rules in Mohave County, AZ — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Arizona bans local rent control. A.R.S. §33-1329 preempts every city, town, and county, so neither Mohave County nor Kingman, Lake Havasu City, or Bullhead City may cap rent. Landlords set market rents and raise them with proper notice.
The state legislature made rent control a matter of statewide concern and stripped every local government of the power to cap rents on private residential housing. A.R.S. §33-1329 preempts the field, so a Mohave County ordinance or a Kingman, Lake Havasu City, or Bullhead City rule limiting rent would be void. A landlord may raise the rent by any amount at renewal or, for a month-to-month tenancy, on thirty days' written notice under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. The tenant's real protection is the signed lease and the Act's habitability and deposit rules, not a rent ceiling.
There is no rent cap to violate. A local ordinance attempting to control rents is preempted and unenforceable. A landlord must still give written notice before raising rent, and retaliatory increases after a complaint are barred by the Act.
