Arizona HB2963 revises landlord-tenant laws, focusing on mandatory eviction settlement conferences, utility disconnection, and tenant.

Arizona HB2963 amends the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, introducing mandatory eviction settlement conferences for material lease breaches or unpaid rent. These conferences occur five days after eviction notice, with specific rules for landlord and tenant attendance. If the landlord does not appear, the case is dismissed; if the tenant does not appear, a default judgment is entered. If unresolved, an eviction hearing is set for five business days after the conference.
