Introduced Text

Arizona SB1183 amends landlord-tenant laws to streamline the process for serving summons and complaints in forcible entry and detainer cases.

Arizona SB1183 revises the procedures for serving summons and complaints in landlord-tenant cases involving forcible entry or detainer. It mandates that summons be issued on the day a complaint is filed, with the trial date set no later than three days after the complaint. The bill specifies that if a tenant is served by posting, a photograph of the posted summons must be submitted electronically to the court. It also prohibits state agencies and courts from enforcing rules that require specific forms for notices or pleadings in these cases.
