If a dwelling is damaged or destroyed by fire, how many days must a tenant give the landlord to terminate the rental agreement?

In Arizona, when a dwelling is rendered uninhabitable due to damage or destruction, such as from a fire, the lease agreement allows tenants to terminate their rental agreement. The law specifies that the tenant must provide the landlord with a written notice of termination within 14 days of the incident. This notice period provides sufficient time for the tenant to assess the condition of the property and make decisions regarding their living situation, while also allowing the landlord to respond appropriately.

Understanding this legal framework is essential for both landlords and tenants, as it establishes clear communication timelines and responsibilities after a significant incident affecting the habitability of the rental property.
