January 2009 - The new "Rules of Procedure for Eviction Actions" became effective
January 1, 2009. These new rules affect: (1) attorneys and (2) landlords who do their
own evictions. In short, the new rules require the Summons and Complaint to include
specific language and notices. The court must find that specific facts exist before
granting a judgment against a tenant. All attorneys and landlords should read the
new rules before doing another eviction. The new rules DO NOT require any changes
to any of the forms in Appendix B of the Arizona Landlord's Deskbook (5th Edition).
