AZ HB2838

Limits late fees in rental agreements to $50 per period of nonpayment or 5% of the unpaid periodic rent amount, whichever is greater.

Restricts unpaid rent judgments to only the prorated amount actually owed during the tenant's possession period, preventing landlords from collecting full periodic rent when eviction occurs mid-period.

Requires landlords to file a satisfaction of judgment upon receiving complete payment from tenants, triggering automatic sealing of eviction case records.

Allows automatic sealing of eviction records when the action is dismissed before judgment or judgment is entered in favor of the tenant.

Prohibits sealed eviction records from being sold or released to third parties as part of bulk or individual records transfers.
