It seems to me it is there to punish gross offenders but likely wouldn't be triggered in most instances.

In many years I've managed my commercial property, I have served notices, pay rent or quit, unlawful detainer, gone to court to evict tenant and in every case, done things by the book and like clockwork. 

From what I can see, I would have a right to evict them for their unlawful possession of controlled substances, not that I am planning to do that at this point.

This is not a punishment. 

Either way, you have to follow Arizona Landlord Tenant Laws here:https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/documents...You might want to contact Andy Hull Attorney, and start an unlawful detainer.

My name is Rick Stewart and If you contact me via social media, I can give you court documents and my attorney's information to verify that after THREE MONTHS of receiving zero rent, we had to forcefully evict (unlawful detainer) the tenant that Mario/Bridgehouse screened and moved in.

I was punished once with my entire house smelling of rot. 

If you later decide you want him out, you're going to have to go through a formal eviction (unlawful detainer) process. 

I was just wore out.Thinking back, my best deals were  timely unlawful detainer action mailers, forfeitures (seller-financed foreclosures) and property tax delinquents.
