Eviction Postponement
The Governor of the state of Arizona has issued an Executive Order protecting tenants from eviction during this crisis based on specific criteria, such as a medically-issued order to self-quarantine in your home or a substantial loss of income due COVID-19 resulting from conditions including job loss and reduction of income. Landlords may not evict tenants because they have been diagnosed with COVID-19.
IMPORTANT: Please review the entire Postponement of Eviction Actions Executive Order to see complete information on tenant protection and your required actions.
Rental Eviction Prevention Assistance
If you are struggling to make rent, the Arizona Department of Housing advises that you contact your on-site manager or lease agent right away to let them know that you may need rental assistance or a payment plan.
Please find additional information, FAQ’s and take a self-assessment at the Arizona Department of Housing website to see if you qualify for rental assistance.
