Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1471
Noncompliance by the landlord
Operative Text
A. Except as provided in this chapter, if there is a material noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement, the rules and regulations or statements of policy, the tenant may deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than thirty days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in fourteen days. If there is a noncompliance by the landlord with section 33-1434 materially affecting health and safety, the tenant may deliver a written notice to the landlord specifying the acts and omissions constituting the breach and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than twenty days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in ten days. The rental agreement shall terminate and the mobile home space shall be vacated as provided in the notice subject to the following: 1. If the breach is remediable by repairs or the payment of damages or otherwise and the landlord adequately remedies the breach prior to the date specified in the notice, the rental agreement will not terminate. 2. The tenant may not terminate for a condition caused by the deliberate or negligent act or omission of the tenant, a member of his family or other person on the premises with his consent. B. Except as provided in this chapter, the tenant may recover damages, and obtain injunctive relief for any noncompliance by the landlord with the rental agreement or section 33-1434. C. The remedy provided in subsection B of this section is in addition to any right of the tenant arising under subsection A of this section. D. If the rental agreement is terminated, the landlord shall return all deposits less reasonable damages.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1471, when a landlord materially fails to comply with a rental agreement, applicable rules, or health-and-safety standards, the law provides a structured notice-and-cure process before a tenancy can be terminated. For general breaches, the landlord has 14 days to fix the problem after receiving written notice; for health-and-safety violations under § 33-1434, the cure window is 10 days. Separately, tenants may also pursue monetary damages or injunctive relief for landlord noncompliance, and if the tenancy does end, the landlord is required to return deposits minus any reasonable damages.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under A.R.S. § 33-1471 generally maintain their rental agreements, rules, and health-and-safety standards proactively to avoid triggering the notice-and-cure process. When a written notice of breach is received, compliant operators document and complete repairs or other remedies within the applicable cure window—14 days for general breaches or 10 days for health-and-safety issues under § 33-1434—so that the tenancy is not terminated. If a tenancy does terminate under this section, operators typically account for all deposits and return them promptly, retaining only amounts that correspond to documented, reasonable damages.

A.R.S. § 33-1471 gives mobile home tenants a formal mechanism to address a landlord's failure to uphold the rental agreement or health-and-safety obligations under § 33-1434: a written notice specifying the breach and a termination date, which gives the landlord a defined window to cure the problem. If the landlord does not remedy the breach in time, the tenancy may be terminated and deposits must be returned, less reasonable damages. Tenants also have the right to seek monetary damages or injunctive relief for noncompliance, and tenant-rights organizations or legal aid services can help explain which enforcement paths—such as filing in court or raising a violation as a defense—may be available in a given situation.
