Arizona eviction process

5 days nonpayment notice.

Nonpayment requires a 5-day pay-or-quit notice; health/safety lease violations allow a 5-day notice and other violations a 10-day cure notice.

What this means for you: Paying within 5 days stops a nonpayment eviction.

Your next step: Note the 5-day deadline and pay if you can, keeping proof.
