Arizona Answer to Eviction Action is a legal document that must be filed by a tenant in response to an eviction notice. This document states the tenant's reasons for why the eviction should not take place. The tenant must file the Answer within five days of receiving the eviction notice. There are two types of Arizona Answer to Eviction Action: an answer with a defense, and an answer without a defense. An answer with a defense means the tenant is raising a legal defense against the eviction, such as not being able to pay rent due to financial hardship or claiming that the landlord did not follow the proper legal procedures. An answer without a defense means the tenant is not raising any legal defenses to the eviction. In both cases, the Answer must include the tenant’s name and address, the name and address of the landlord or property owner, the date the tenant received the eviction notice, details of the tenant’s response to the eviction, and the tenant’s signature. Once the Answer is filed, the court will typically hold a hearing to determine the outcome of the eviction.
