Under Arizona State law, there are two Residential Landlord and Tenant Acts, one that pertains to standard rental housing and the other to renters in Mobile Home Parks.

The Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which pertains to standard rental housing, was enacted to govern the rental of dwelling units and the rights and obligations of landlord and tenant. There is currently no state agency that enforces provisions in the Act, and because most landlord/tenant relations are private transactions, disputes that arise between landlord and tenants are generally considered private matters.
