On average, it would take anywhere between 9 – 41 days for a complete eviction process. If either a tenant or a landlord applied for a re-judgment of the case, an additional 5 days could be added to the entire process.
Once a landlord has been awarded a judgment, the only way a tenant can stay in the rental unit is by working out an agreement with the landlord or filing an appeal of the judgment and paying a supersedeas bond. Any post-judgment agreements should be in writing and signed by the landlord. Keep a copy of any agreement.
But the landlord can't just kick out the tenant, change the locks, or turn off the utilities. The landlord must follow all the steps the law says must be taken. And the tenant should not just stop paying the rent unless the tenant first follows all the steps the law says must be taken.
This is called a “self-help” measure, and it is unlawful (A.R.S. § 33-1367). A landlord must seek an eviction through the formal court process. However, before a landlord may go to court, the landlord first must provide the tenant with written notice (as described in the section above).
Arizona landlords have to provide tenants with at least a written 30-day notice. The notice is to inform the tenant that the lease agreement will be ending after 30 days and the tenant will need to move out at that time.
Required Notices for Eviction in Arizona For month-to-month tenancies, landlords must give tenants a 30-Day Notice to Vacate. This allows the landlord to terminate the tenancy for any reason with 30 days' notice. For tenants violating the lease or rental agreement, landlords can give a 10-Day Notice to Comply or Quit.
If the landlord fixes the problem within 14 days of receiving the notice, then the tenant must continue with the lease. But before sending a 14/30-day notice, be prepared to move out in 30 days. If the landlord fails to fix the problem in the 14 days, your right to live in the unit expires at the 30 day mark.
A landlord must never attempt to physically evict a tenant (for example, by removing the tenant's belongings or changing the locks on the rental unit). This is called a “self-help” measure, and it is unlawful (A.R.S. § 33-1367). A landlord must seek an eviction through the formal court process.
