FAQs

How long does an eviction take in Arizona?

The Arizona eviction process typically runs 3–5 weeks from initial notice to writ of restitution, depending on the court’s schedule and whether the tenant contests the filing. A standard 5-day notice for non-payment starts the clock. Our attorneys are built for speed — we handle hundreds of evictions annually and know how to avoid the procedural missteps that create delays.

A bankruptcy filing triggers an automatic stay that halts most collection and eviction activity. But it’s not a dead end. Depending on the bankruptcy chapter and the status of your case, we may be able to seek relief from the stay, pursue possession, and recover unpaid rent through the bankruptcy process. We act immediately and aggressively to protect your interests in federal court.

Arizona state law doesn’t mandate fair housing training, but your management contracts, lender agreements, or professional association memberships may. Beyond compliance, the cost of a single fair housing lawsuit far outweighs the investment in training. C & W University provides certified fair housing courses designed by the attorneys who defend these cases — giving your team the knowledge to avoid them entirely.

The required notice depends entirely on the reason for eviction. Non-payment of rent requires a 5-day written notice. Lease non-compliance requires a 10-day notice to cure. Material or irreparable breaches may allow for immediate termination. Serving the wrong notice — or the right notice incorrectly — can void your entire case. Our team prepares and serves all notices to ensure they are legally bulletproof.
