Arizona Landlord/Tenant Laws

[Landon Moore]

Hey BP,

I am posting this question in the hopes of being directed to some external websites or other forum posts that I can sift through to better understand not only what the Arizona landlord/tenant bylaws are, but also what differentiates Arizona from other states. 

What dictates a landlord friendly state?

What dictates a tenant friendly state?

What states lean to be landlord friendly and where to look to keep up with local legislation?

My understanding, simply networking and other forums is that Arizona is LL friendly compared to say California due to rent hike limitations, but what else drives that perception?

Thanks in advance!
