{"data":{"id":"us-az/a.r.s.-33-1371","jurisdiction":"us-az","citation":"A.R.S. § 33-1371","heading":"Acceptance of partial payments; waiver of right to terminate; exception","body":"A. A landlord is not required to accept a partial payment of rent or other charges. A landlord accepting a partial payment of rent or other charges retains the right to proceed against a tenant only if the tenant agrees in a contemporaneous writing to the terms and conditions of the partial payment with regard to continuation of the tenancy. The written agreement shall contain a date on which the balance of the rent is due. The landlord may proceed as provided in this article and in title 12, chapter 8 against a tenant in breach of this agreement or any other breach of the original rental agreement. If the landlord has provided the tenant with a notice of failure to pay rent as specified in section 33-1368, subsection B before the completion of the agreement for partial payment, no additional notice under section 33-1368, subsection B is required in case of a breach of the partial payment agreement.\n\nB. For the purposes of this section, a landlord's acceptance of a housing assistance payment does not constitute an acceptance of a partial payment of rent or a waiver of a landlord's right to terminate the rental agreement for any breach by the tenant.\n\nC. Except as specified in subsections A and B of this section, acceptance of rent, or any portion of rent, with knowledge of a default by the tenant or acceptance of performance by the tenant that varied from the terms of the rental agreement or rules or regulations subsequently adopted by the landlord constitutes a waiver of the right to terminate the rental agreement for that breach.","path":["Title 33 Property"],"source_url":"https://www.azleg.gov/ars/33/01371.htm","current_through":"2026-09-04","vintage":"2026-08-09","retrieved_at":"2026-09-04T00:49:56Z","sha256":"35511a1ca4feb63c086119246f83e02199d9b81864b21b8cedf7be7d8efa8ffe","source_id":"us-az","stale":true,"prev":"us-az/a.r.s.-33-1370","next":"us-az/a.r.s.-33-1372"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
