The notice does not have to be in writing under the statute, though written notice is the sensible practice. Tenants may not unreasonably refuse lawful entry, and the remedies run both ways: a landlord who enters unlawfully, enters lawfully but unreasonably, or uses repeated entry demands to harass faces injunctive relief or lease termination plus actual damages of no less than one month's rent (ARS 33-1376(B)).

Notes and caveats

The notice does not have to be written — The statute requires at least two days' notice but does not say it must be in writing (ARS 33-1343(D)); many secondary sources silently add a writing requirement the statute doesn't contain.
The 'impracticable' carve-out is broader than emergencies — ARS 33-1343(D) excuses notice in an emergency or when giving it is impracticable — a carve-out broader than emergency-only that is usually omitted from summaries.
Unlawful entry has a one-month's-rent floor — The minimum recovery under ARS 33-1376(B) — no less than one month's rent — is a floor on actual damages, a real deterrent.
'Two days,' not '48 hours' — The statute phrases the requirement as two days' notice; the 48-hour figure is that same statutory period expressed in hours.
Where each entry rule sits in ARS 33-1343 — A tenant's service or maintenance request is permission to enter for that purpose and waives any separate access notice (ARS 33-1343(B)). The landlord may enter without the tenant's consent in an emergency (33-1343(C)). The two-day notice, its exceptions for an emergency or where notice is impracticable, and the reasonable-times rule are in 33-1343(D).

Correction, October 2, 2026 — Notice periods now print in the unit each statute uses (correction). Entry notice: the statutes of Alabama, Arizona, Hawaii, Kentucky, Rhode Island and Washington say two days and Oklahoma's says one day, and those pages show days; Delaware's and Vermont's say 48 hours, and their pages, which had shown 2 days, now show 48 hours. Eviction notice for unpaid rent: California, Florida and Utah give three days that leave out Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, and their pages now show 3 business days, as does California's lease-violation notice; Nevada's shows 7 judicial days; Alabama's two notices show 7 business days. Each statute was read on its official site on October 1, 2026. No period changed.

How this record was verified: Direct read of statute text on the Arizona Legislature's site (azleg.gov). October 1, 2026: every section the security deposit, rent increase, late fee, entry and eviction answers rest on was read there: A.R.S. §§ 33-1310, 33-1314, 33-1321, 33-1329, 33-1343, 33-1367, 33-1368, 33-1375 to 33-1377 and 33-1379; 12-1173, 12-1178, 12-1179 and 12-1567; and 22-247. The mobile home park act (§§ 33-1401 to 33-1501) and the recreational vehicle long-term rental space act (§§ 33-2101 to 33-2148) were read for the figures that belong to them and not to standard rentals. The statute pages print no amendment history, so the chaptered laws of the 2025 and 2026 sessions were searched for amendments to these sections; Laws 2026, chapters 69 and 194 (effective September 12, 2026) are stated where they apply. Rule 17 of the Rules of Procedure for Eviction Actions and Rule 4 of the Superior Court Rules of Appellate Procedure - Civil were read in the Arizona court rules as published for the courts. The status of each bill named here was read in the Legislature's own bill records.
