Phoenix renters experienced second worst eviction orders in 2025

More from this show

While rent prices dipped in 2025, metro Phoenix renters encountered the second worst eviction notices from their landlords.

In 2025, the Valley saw 84,833 eviction cases filed, while 2024 held the record of 87,130 filings, according to the Maricopa County Justice Courts.

The lack of affordable housing and renters paying more than they can afford were the primary issues. Arizona county and city leaders have said help via new programs and assistance is on the way.

Catherine Reagor, a senior real estate reporter for The Arizona Republic, joins “Arizona Horizon” to discuss how those measures may not be enough to help people facing eviction or who have been evicted.
