Sources
- Ark. Code Ann. 18-16-304, 18-16-305 (60-day deposit return, capped at 2 months rent)
- Ark. Code Ann. 18-16-303(a)-(b) (deposit subchapter exempts landlords owning <=5 units WITH spouse/minor children -- VOID if a third party manages the property or collects rent for a fee, which covers most professionally-managed portfolios)
- Ark. Code Ann. 18-17-704 (30-day termination notice, codified -- not just common law; also the derived basis for rent-increase notice)
- Ark. Code Ann. 18-60-304(3) (3-day notice for civil unlawful detainer -- the dominant modern practice path)
- Ark. Code Ann. 18-17-701(a) (5-day RLTA contractual termination trigger, a separate substantive right)
- Ark. Code Ann. 18-16-101(b)(1) (10-day criminal "failure to vacate" misdemeanor path -- confirmed still codified/not statewide-repealed via direct 2024 Code re-fetch; struck down as unconstitutional only in a handful of circuit courts, not appealed to the AR Supreme Court, so binds only those counties)
- 17-42-301 / 17-42-103(10) / 17-42-104 (broker license; owner, on-site-manager, and employee exemptions)
- Arkansas Fair Housing Act, 16-123-201 et seq. (mirrors federal 7 classes exactly); Act 137 of 2015 bars localities from exceeding the state list
