Arizona requirement
Arizona requires a 10-day notice to cure or quit. Two curable tracks under A.R.S. § 33-1368(A): (1) material noncompliance with the rental agreement (or § 33-1341) materially affecting HEALTH AND SAFETY = not less than FIVE days to remedy; (2) other material noncompliance not affecting health and safety = the rental agreement terminates on a date "not less than ten days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in ten days." The 10-day cure-or-quit is the general lease-violation period used here. Note: certain material falsifications (criminal records, prior eviction, current criminal activity) are NOT curable. A repeat act of the same or similar nature after a prior remedy allows the landlord to file 10 days after a written notice without a further cure opportunity.
