AZ SB1129

Allows property owners or authorized agents to request law enforcement remove persons unlawfully occupying residential dwellings by submitting a sworn affidavit meeting eight specified conditions.

Requires the occupant to have unlawfully entered the property, received direct verbal or written notice to leave, and not be a tenant, family member, or person with prior cohabitation agreement with the owner.

Directs law enforcement to verify the affidavit and serve notice to immediately vacate; allows property owners to change locks and remove personal property with law enforcement standing by (at owner's expense for hourly rate).

Permits wrongfully removed occupants to sue for actual damages, statutory damages of three times fair market rent, court costs, and reasonable attorney fees; protects law enforcement officers from liability absent bad faith.

Clarifies that occupants failing to surrender possession commit trespass and does not limit property owner rights or law enforcement authority to arrest for other crimes.
