Can I be evicted by my landlord from a rental home in Arizona for noise complaints?
My two roommates and I have been renting a house here in Arizona for over two years. We know that the landlord has recently received some noise complaints from one of our neighbors. The landlord is now threatening to either evict us or increase our rent. Can we be evicted? Do we have some rights that we can exercise to protect ourselves?

In general, your landlord can only evict you if you’re failing to pay your rent on time or violating one or more terms of your apartment lease. Furthermore, your rent cannot be raised for arbitrary reasons. However, some exceptions may apply. (For example, if you adopt a pet in keeping with your landlord’s rules, you may have to start paying the same monthly pet fee paid by other tenants. You may also have to provide your landlord with a pet deposit.)
You and your roommates should consult with a local attorney about your current apartment lease agreement contract to be sure you fully understand all of your rights and obligations. For example, you may want to ask the lawyer if the rental deposit you provided under the terms of the rental contract can be kept by the landlord if you’re evicted. Also, ask about the other consequences that may await you if you are put through a rental eviction.
Make sure you and your roommates are doing all you can to fully comply with your landlord’s requests while you pursue this rental agreement matter further. Rental eviction laws provides various protections if you are complying with every term of your lease.
