Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona law to clarify the process for obtaining a ‘writ of restitution’ in cases of forcible entry and detainer. It establishes that if a landlord successfully wins a case for possession of a property, they can request a writ of restitution to force the tenant to leave. Furthermore, the bill makes it a criminal offense for a former tenant to remain on the property after receiving a writ of restitution without the owner’s permission, effectively creating a new crime of criminal trespass related to this legal process.
