Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1307
Territorial application
Operative Text
This chapter applies to, regulates, and determines rights, obligations and remedies under a rental agreement, wherever made, for a dwelling unit located within this state.
A.R.S. § 33-1307 establishes that Arizona's residential landlord-tenant law governs any rental agreement for a dwelling unit physically located in Arizona, regardless of where that agreement was signed or executed. This means the protections, duties, and remedies set out in the chapter apply based on where the property sits, not where the contract was formed. Both parties to such a rental agreement are subject to Arizona law on these matters.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1307, operators of rental properties located in Arizona are bound by the state's residential landlord-tenant chapter even if the lease was drafted or signed in another state. Compliant property managers generally ensure that their lease terms and practices conform to Arizona law rather than relying on the law of the state where the agreement was executed. Familiarity with the full scope of the chapter is a standard part of managing Arizona-based rental properties.

A.R.S. § 33-1307 means that tenants living in Arizona-based dwelling units are protected by Arizona's residential landlord-tenant law, no matter where the lease was originally signed. If a landlord attempts to apply the law of another state to avoid Arizona's tenant protections, this provision establishes that Arizona law controls. Tenants who have questions about which rights apply to their situation may consult a local tenant-rights organization or legal aid office for general information about the chapter's scope.
