Rent control rules in Peoria, AZ — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Arizona prohibits rent control statewide (ARS 33-1329). Peoria cannot impose rent caps, stabilization, or relocation assistance. Landlords may raise rent to any amount with proper notice. Retaliatory increases are prohibited (ARS 33-1381).
ARS 33-1329 explicitly prohibits cities from enacting rent control. Peoria has no authority to regulate rent amounts. Landlords may increase rent at renewal or with 30 days' notice for month-to-month. Retaliatory increases (in response to tenant complaints or repair requests) are prohibited under ARS 33-1381. Peoria's rapid growth and housing demand have driven rent increases in recent years.
Retaliatory increases are prohibited. Proper notice is required.
