Gov. Katie Hobbs signed a bill into law that makes it easier to remove squatters from Arizonans’ property.
Senate Bill 1426 speeds up the process of expelling unauthorized tenants, also known as squatters.
SB 1426 says a person can be found guilty of forcible detainer for refusing to leave a property after being requested by the property owner or the owner’s agent.
The bill does not apply to current or former tenants or people who had a prior verbal or written agreement to “cohabitate with the property owner in that residential dwelling.”
Furthermore, SB 1426 does not apply to property owners’ immediate family members or people involved in pending litigation with property owners.
