Does Gov. Ducey’s eviction protection order apply to lease ends?
I have a tenant whose lease ended on July 31. They haven’t been the best tenants and I would prefer not to renew their lease for another year. When I informed my property management company that I would like to give them notice of non-renewal, their legal counsel advised me that any notice to vacate is in violation of Gov. Ducey’s eviction protection order. With the original protection order set to expire at the end of July, I figured I could wait a month until it expired and then give them notice. Now that the protection order has been extended to the end of October, I’d really like to turn the apartment over to new tenants if possible. Has anyone else received similar legal advice? Does the eviction protection order apply to ANY notice to vacate, even at the end of a lease?
