FORCIBLE DETAINERRead the
WARNING! first.
An eviction proceeding in Arizona is sometimes known as a "forcible detainer." Eviction laws for single family residences (and apartments) are different than the laws relating to spaces in mobile home parks. Eviction proceedings move faster than ordinary lawsuits. Most eviction proceedings are conducted in the Arizona Justice Courts where a Justice of the Peace is the presiding judicial officer. Many Arizona Justices of the Peace are not lawyers. A well-drafted lease or rental agreement increases the possibility of a successful forcible detainer proceeding. To maximize the possibility of a successful forcible detainer proceeding, strict adherence to judicial requirements is essential. Under appropriate circumstances, we represent landlords in forcible detainer proceedings.
