How do I remove a guest who won't leave in Arizona?

Question

Accepted Answer

You can ask law enforcement to remove them directly — no court eviction is needed for a non-tenant guest. A person who is a guest of a tenant, who is not named on the written lease, and who remains on the premises without the permission of the tenant or the landlord is not a lawful tenant, and that person's presence on the premises does not constitute residency or tenancy.

How removal works: A person who knowingly remains on the premises without the permission of the tenant or the landlord may be removed by a law enforcement officer at the request of the tenant or the landlord who is entitled to possession of the premises.

This is a law-enforcement-officer removal for a non-tenant guest — not the formal court eviction (special detainer) process that applies to an actual tenant.
