An Arizona 10 Day Notice To Terminate Tenancy is a letter that complies with state legal requirements to terminate a week-to-week lease or a rental situation with no written lease where the tenant pays rent weekly. The non-terminating party must receive notice at least ten (10) calendar days before the date of termination.
When to Use an Arizona 10 Day Notice to Terminate Tenancy
An Arizona 10 Day Notice to Terminate Tenancy ends a week-to-week lease, or a rental situation with no lease where the tenant pays rent weekly.
Some types of Arizona lease termination notice may allow different reasons for termination, or different notice periods. This may also apply to an eviction notice issued because of a lease or legal violation.
How To Write an Arizona 10 Day Notice To Terminate Tenancy

- Specify the termination date of the lease or tenancy
- Fill in the full address of the rental premises
- Provide updated/current address and phone number information
- Print name and sign the notice
