Ariz. R. P. Evic. Action. 1
These rules shall be known and cited as the Rules of Procedure for Eviction Actions ("RPEA"). These rules shall govern the procedure in the superior courts and justice courts involving forcible and special detainer actions, which are jointly referred to in these rules as "eviction actions." For purposes of these rules, there shall be only one form of action known as an "eviction action." The Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure apply only when incorporated by reference in these rules, except that Rule 80(c) shall apply in all courts and Rules 42.1 and 42.2 shall apply in the superior courts. Arizona Code of Judicial Administration (ACJA) § 1-901 applies to documents filed through an electronic filing service provider. "Electronic filing service provider" as used in these rules has the same meaning as provided in ACJA § 1-901.
