Arizona landlord entry laws
How much notice your landlord owes you before coming in, when they may enter without it, and what Arizona law lets you do about it.
Notice required
2 days — not 24 hours
At least two days' notice of intent to enter, and entry only at reasonable times. Arizona is one of the states most often reported incorrectly as a 24-hour state.
A.R.S. § 33-1343(D)
When they may enter without notice
Entry without consent is allowed in an emergency.
What you can do about a violation
Injunctive relief to prevent it recurring, or termination — and actual damages not less than one month's rent. No pre-suit notice is required by the statute.
A.R.S. § 33-1376(B)
What to do right now
Count the days properly. If your landlord gave 24 hours, Arizona law required twice that.
Put it in writing

Landlords who get one of these wrong often get another wrong too.
How this page was checked
- Read from the source. Every deadline, cap and penalty here was taken from Arizona's published text — the statute, session law or administrative code itself.
- No legal-information websites. Commercial summaries were used only to find a provision, never as authority for it. An automated check fails our build if any state we serve cites a secondary source.
- Locked against drift. The verified figures are pinned by regression tests, so a later edit cannot quietly change a deadline or a penalty.
- Last verified August 21, 2026. Laws change — confirm the current text before relying on it.
