Arizona's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act gives the landlord access for inspections, repairs, services and showings, after at least two days' notice and only at reasonable times. A tenant's own repair request counts as permission for that job. Here is each rule with a link to the statute.

What Arizona requires

  • The tenant may not unreasonably withhold consent for the landlord to enter to inspect, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations or improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, or show the unit to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants, workmen or contractorsA.R.S. s. 33-1343 (A)
  • A tenant's service or maintenance request is permission to enter for that request only, and waives any separate access notice for itA.R.S. s. 33-1343 (B)
  • The landlord may enter without the tenant's consent in an emergencyA.R.S. s. 33-1343 (C)
  • Except in an emergency or if it is impracticable, the landlord gives at least two days' notice of the intent to enter and enters only at reasonable times; access may not be abused or used to harass the tenantA.R.S. s. 33-1343 (D)
  • The landlord has no other right of access except by court order, as sections 33-1369 and 33-1370 allow, or after the tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premisesA.R.S. s. 33-1343 (E)
  • If the tenant refuses lawful access the landlord may seek an injunction or terminate the rental agreement and recover actual damages; for unlawful, unreasonable or harassing entries the tenant may seek an injunction or terminate and recover actual damages of at least one month's rentA.R.S. s. 33-1376 (A), (B)

Two days' notice, reasonable times

Except in an emergency or where it is impracticable, give at least two days' notice of the intent to enter and come at a reasonable time. The tenant may not unreasonably refuse access for inspections, repairs, services or showings.

Repair requests and emergencies

When the tenant asks for a repair or service, that request is permission to enter for that job, with no separate notice. Emergencies allow entry without consent; outside those, only a court order, the statute's listed cases, or an abandoned or surrendered unit give access.

If access is refused or abused

A landlord refused lawful access can ask a court to compel it or end the agreement, with actual damages. A tenant facing unlawful or harassing entries can do the same and recover at least one month's rent.

Common mistakes

  • Giving only 24 hours' notice: Arizona requires two days.
  • Treating one repair request as permission for unrelated visits.
  • Repeated demands for entry that amount to harassment.
