This chapter shall apply to the rental of dwelling units. Any conflict between the provisions of chapter 3 and chapter 7 of this title with the provisions of this chapter shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter.
A.R.S. § 33-1304 establishes that the rules contained in this chapter of Arizona law apply specifically to the rental of dwelling units. When any conflict arises between this chapter and chapters 3 or 7 of the same title, the provisions of this chapter take precedence and control the outcome. This creates a clear hierarchy so that residential rental relationships are governed by a consistent, specific set of rules rather than by more general provisions elsewhere in the title.
