Arizona Landlord Disclosure: Manager and Owner Names and Addresses

At or before the commencement of the tenancy, A.R.S. 33-1322(A) requires the landlord, or any person authorized to enter into a rental agreement on his behalf, to disclose to the tenant in writing the name and address of two people: the person authorized to manage the premises, and an owner or a person authorized to act for the owner for service of process and for receiving and receipting for notices and demands.

What You Must Disclose and When

A.R.S. 33-1322(A) requires disclosure in writing "at or before the commencement of the tenancy" of the name and address of each of the following:

1. The person authorized to manage the premises.
2. An owner of the premises or a person authorized to act for and on behalf of the owner for two purposes:
   • service of process, and
   • receiving and receipting for notices and demands.

The statute requires writing but does not prescribe a form; it can sit in the lease or in a separate document.

A.R.S. 33-1322(B) adds a second written item due at or before the commencement of the tenancy: the landlord shall inform the tenant in writing that the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act is available on the Arizona department of housing's website.

Keeping Information Current

A.R.S. 33-1322(C) provides that:

• the information required by this section shall be kept current and refurnished to a tenant upon the tenant's request, and
• the section extends to and is enforceable against any successor landlord, owner or manager.

The text ties refurnishing to the tenant's request. It does not say the landlord must send an update on its own when the manager or owner changes, but the information must be kept current.

Consequences of Failure

A.R.S. 33-1322(D) states that a person who fails to comply with subsections A, B and C "becomes an agent of each person who is a landlord for the following purposes:"

1. Service of process and receiving and receipting for notices and demands.
2. Performing the obligations of the landlord under this chapter and under the rental agreement and expending or making available for the purpose all rent collected from the premises.

The statute does not say more than this about what the agency means in practice. For questions on how it would apply to a particular person, ask an Arizona attorney.

The Written Rental Agreement Requirement

A.R.S. 33-1322(E) adds that if there is a written rental agreement, the landlord must "tender and deliver a signed copy of the rental agreement to the tenant" and "the tenant must sign and deliver to the landlord one fully executed copy" within a reasonable time after the agreement is executed. A written rental agreement shall have all blank spaces completed. Noncompliance with this subsection is deemed a material noncompliance by the landlord or the tenant, as the case may be.

Do This

1. Before the tenancy starts, identify the person authorized to manage the premises and write down that person's name and address.
2. Identify the owner, or the person authorized to act for the owner for service of process and for receiving and receipting for notices and demands, and write down the name and address.
3. Put both in writing, in the lease or a separate document, and hand it to the tenant at or before the commencement of the tenancy.
4. In the same writing, say that the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act is available on the Arizona department of housing's website.
5. Keep a copy showing the date you gave it.
6. If the manager, owner or authorized representative changes, update the information, and give it to the tenant again whenever the tenant asks.
7. Complete every blank space in a written rental agreement and exchange signed copies within a reasonable time after it is executed.

Common Mistakes

• Telling the tenant verbally who the manager is, without putting it in writing at or before the start of the tenancy.
• Giving a name but no address; the statute calls for the name and address of each person.
• Leaving out the notice about the Act being available on the Arizona department of housing's website.
• Letting the information go stale after the manager or owner changes.
• Assuming the tenant knows who manages the property because rent is paid to that person; the statute requires written disclosure.
• Not giving the tenant a signed copy of a written lease, or leaving blank spaces in it.
• Naming someone for service of process and notices who is not actually authorized to act for the owner for those purposes.
