Thank you for making the 2025 Mid-Year
Officer & Directors Conference a Success!

The Landlord Association of Arkansas would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended the 2025 Mid-Year Officer & Directors Conference. This year’s event was a resounding success, bringing together landlords, property managers, and industry professionals from across the state.

HELPFUL TIPS...

Landlord rights:

• In Arkansas, a landlord may give notice of lease termination for any reason. Even model tenants may be subject to having a lease terminated. The landlord must give one rental period’s notice for an oral lease, or provide notice according to the terms of a written lease.
• State law provides that upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of any lease agreement, all property left in the dwelling by the tenant will be considered abandoned and may be disposed of by the landlord as the landlord sees fit without recourse by the tenant. All property left on the premises by the tenant is subjected to a lien in favor of the landlord for the payment of all sums agreed to be paid by the tenant.

Tenants...

Abandonment

Your landlord can assume you have abandoned your rented property if:

• the property is vacant for an extended period and you have not told the landlord you will be away; AND 
• you do not pay your rent within a reasonable period after the day it is due, even if you have left behind your furniture and belongings.
  

Abandonment can also be assumed if:

• the property is vacant for an extended period and you have not told the landlord you will be away; AND
• you do not pay your rent the day it is due; AND
• you have moved your belongings out of the property.

If You Abandon

If you have abandoned the property in violation of your rental agreement or lease, the landlord can retake the property and rent it to someone else. You are responsible for any costs the landlord has in re-renting the property, plus any rent which becomes due before the property is re-rented.
