Arizona Eviction Grounds Set by State Law

ARS Title 33, Chapter 10 (sections 33-1301 through 33-1381) governs residential evictions statewide. Landlords may terminate for material breach with 5-day cure notice (33-1368), nonpayment of rent with 5-day notice (33-1368(B)), or no cause at end of lease term with 30-day notice for month-to-month (33-1375). Arizona courts have struck local additions like Tucson's eviction-ordinance proposals on preemption grounds. ARS 33-1329 plus statewide uniformity in Title 33 leaves cities without authority to require just-cause justifications beyond the statutory grounds.

Local just-cause ordinances are unenforceable. Landlords following ARS Title 33 procedures cannot be penalized municipally for evictions consistent with state law.
