Getting locked out of your rental home or apartment in Arizona is very stressful. It happens often with forgotten keys, slammed doors, or broken locks. Here is what you need to know and how to get back inside quickly.
Arizona Tenant Rights Regarding Lockouts
According to the Arizona Landlord and Tenant Act, your landlord cannot lock you out without proper court approval or take any of your belongings. They also cannot turn off utilities.
However, if you accidentally lock yourself out or lose your keys, your landlord is not obligated to let you in or provide a spare key immediately.
What Tenants Should Do When Locked Out
Check for a spare key with a neighbor, friend, family member, or roommate.
Contact your landlord or property manager right away.
If they cannot help quickly, call a professional locksmith.
Calling a locksmith is usually the fastest and safest option.
