Bill Summary
AN ACT amending title 33, chapter 10, article 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding section 33-1319.01; relating to the Arizona residential landlord and tenant act.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits landlords in Arizona from discriminating against prospective or current tenants based on their source of income, meaning they cannot refuse to rent, evict, or otherwise treat a tenant differently if their rent is paid through government assistance programs like Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, veterans benefits, social security, or other lawful income sources. Landlords must consider any rent vouchers or subsidies as reducing the total monthly rent when determining if a tenant meets income requirements, and any violation of this law will be treated as an unlawful practice, allowing the Attorney General to investigate and take action.
