Bill Summary · HB 2357

Legislative bill overview

HB 2357 requires landlords in Arizona to provide tenants with information about rental assistance programs and resources when issuing notices related to eviction, non-payment of rent, or lease violations. The bill mandates that landlords include specific contact information and details about available financial assistance options in official notices to tenants.

Why is this important

Tenant access to rental assistance can prevent unnecessary evictions and homelessness while helping landlords recover unpaid rent through government programs rather than court proceedings. Many tenants may be unaware such assistance exists, so requiring this information at critical junctures could connect vulnerable households with resources before housing instability occurs.

Potential points of contention

  • Landlord burden and compliance costs: Landlords must research, compile, and include assistance program information in notices, potentially requiring template updates and administrative resources
  • Program effectiveness and sufficiency: Whether available rental assistance programs have adequate funding and accessibility to actually help tenants in crisis, or if the requirement creates false hope
  • Information accuracy and liability: Questions about who verifies assistance program information is current/accurate and potential liability if provided information becomes outdated or is incorrect
