Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-341
Termination of tenancies
Operative Text
A. A tenancy from year to year terminates at the end of each year unless written permission is given to remain for a longer period. The permission shall specify the time the tenant may remain, and upon termination of such time the tenancy expires. B. A lease from month to month may be terminated by the landlord giving at least ten days notice thereof. In case of nonpayment of rent notice is not required. C. A tenant from month to month shall give ten days notice, and a tenant on a semimonthly basis shall give five days notice, of his intention to terminate possession of the premises. Failure to give the notice renders the tenant liable for the rent for the ensuing ten days. D. When a tenancy is for a certain period under verbal or written agreement, and the time expires, the tenant shall surrender possession. Notice to quit or demand of possession is not then necessary. E. A tenant who holds possession of property against the will of the landlord, except as provided in this section, shall not be considered a tenant at sufferance or at will.
Under A.R.S. § 33-303 et seq. § 33-341, Arizona law sets out how different types of tenancies end. Year-to-year tenancies conclude at the end of each year unless written permission extends them, month-to-month tenancies require at least ten days' notice from either side (with no notice needed if rent goes unpaid), and fixed-term tenancies simply expire when the agreed period ends without any formal demand to vacate. A tenant who stays beyond the allowed period without the landlord's consent is not treated as a tenant at sufferance or at will under this provision.
Plain English — not legal advice.
A.R.S. § 33-303 et seq. § 33-341 outlines the notice obligations that compliant landlords generally follow when ending different tenancy types in Arizona. For month-to-month arrangements, operators typically provide at least ten days' written notice before termination, though no notice is required when the reason is nonpayment of rent. When a fixed-term lease expires, landlords generally do not need to issue a separate notice to quit, as possession is expected to be surrendered at the end of the agreed period.

A.R.S. § 33-303 et seq. § 33-341 describes the notice a tenant must give when leaving a rental in Arizona — ten days for month-to-month tenancies and five days for semimonthly arrangements — and notes that failing to provide proper notice can result in liability for rent during the notice period that was skipped. Tenants in fixed-term leases should be aware that the lease ends automatically when the term expires, without any additional demand from the landlord. Tenants who believe a landlord has not followed the notice requirements in this provision may consider consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing complaint options available through local or state housing resources.
