Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1306
Settlement of disputed claim or right
Operative Text
A claim or right arising under this chapter or on a rental agreement, if disputed in good faith, may be settled by agreement.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1306, when a claim or right arising from Arizona's residential landlord-tenant law or a rental agreement is genuinely disputed, the parties involved are permitted to resolve that dispute through a mutually reached agreement. This provision recognizes that not every disagreement needs to proceed to formal legal action, as long as the dispute is raised in good faith. The rule applies to claims rooted in the broader statutory framework established by A.R.S. § 33-1301 et seq.
Plain English — not legal advice.
A.R.S. § 33-1306 gives property owners and managers a recognized legal basis for resolving good-faith disputes with tenants through negotiated settlements rather than formal proceedings. Compliant operators typically document any agreed resolution in writing, ensuring that the terms are clear and mutually understood. Familiarity with the scope of A.R.S. § 33-1301 et seq. helps operators understand which types of claims are eligible for this kind of settlement.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
A.R.S. § 33-1306 establishes that tenants who have a genuine, good-faith dispute over a right or claim under their rental agreement or Arizona's landlord-tenant statutes (A.R.S. § 33-1301 et seq.) may resolve that dispute through a negotiated agreement with their landlord. This means tenants are not automatically required to pursue formal legal channels when a disagreement arises. Tenants who want to understand their options—including whether a proposed settlement adequately addresses their rights—may benefit from consulting a tenant-rights organization or legal aid resource familiar with Arizona housing law.
