Rent control rules in Sedona, AZ — also known as rent stabilization or rent cap ordinances — limit annual rent increases and protect tenants from displacement.
Unincorporated Yavapai County has no rent control or rent-stabilization ordinance, and Arizona state law preempts any attempt to adopt one. Arizona Revised Statutes Section 33-1329 declares that the imposition of rent control on private residential housing units by cities (including charter cities), towns, and counties is a matter of statewide concern and explicitly strips local governments of the power to control rents. As a result, landlords in Yavapai County may set initial rents and adjust rents on renewal without any cap. For month-to-month tenancies, A.R.S. Sec. 33-1375 requires 30 days' advance written notice before a rent change takes effect; week-to-week tenancies require 10 days' written notice. Mobile-home parks fall under a separate framework (A.R.S. Title 33, Ch. 11), but that framework also does not authorize local rent caps. Tenants facing affordability problems may apply for Yavapai County Community Health Services emergency rental assistance, but no statutory rent ceiling applies.
