Unconditional Quit Notice (Arizona)
UNCONDITIONAL QUIT NOTICE
Date of Notice: ________________
From (Landlord/Agent): [LANDLORD/AGENT NAME], [LANDLORD ADDRESS]
To: [TENANT NAME(S)], Tenant(s) in possession of: [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that, because of the following: [state the specific serious or repeated violation / illegal activity, with dates and facts], your tenancy is terminated. You are required to vacate and surrender possession of the property as required by law. This notice does not give an opportunity to cure.
IMPORTANT: An unconditional (no-cure) notice is valid only for the serious or non-curable grounds your state specifically allows. Confirm this situation qualifies — otherwise a notice that gives a chance to cure may be required.
Because Arizona does not require a fixed pre-filing notice period for this situation, the landlord may file for eviction. You can stop the case by paying or correcting the problem, plus any court costs, before the court enters judgment.
Only a court can order you to move out. The landlord may NOT lock you out, remove your belongings, or shut off your utilities; doing so is illegal.
This notice is given without waiving, and the landlord expressly reserves, all other rights and remedies, including the right to recover unpaid rent and damages.
How this notice may be served: Per A.R.S. § 33-1313, a tenant "receives" notice when it is delivered in hand to the tenant OR mailed by registered or certified mail to the place the tenant designates for receipt of communications, or in the absence of a designation, to the tenant's last known place of residence (notice to a designated agent under § 33-1322 also counts). When notice is mailed, count the cure/quit period from the date of receipt (mailing adds delivery time before the clock starts). Posting alone is not authorized by statute.
