The notice does not have to be in writing under the statute, though written notice is the sensible practice. Tenants may not unreasonably refuse lawful entry, and the remedies run both ways: a landlord who enters unlawfully, enters lawfully but unreasonably, or uses repeated entry demands to harass faces injunctive relief or lease termination plus actual damages of no less than one month's rent (ARS 33-1376(B)).

Notes and caveats

The notice does not have to be written — Unusual — most 2-day states require writing, and many secondary sources silently add a writing requirement the statute doesn't contain.
The 'impracticable' carve-out is broader than emergencies — ARS 33-1343(D) excuses notice in an emergency or when giving it is impracticable — a carve-out broader than emergency-only that is usually omitted from summaries.
Unlawful entry has a one-month's-rent floor — The minimum recovery under ARS 33-1376(B) — no less than one month's rent — is a floor on actual damages, a real deterrent.
'Two days,' not '48 hours' — The statute phrases the requirement as two days' notice; the 48-hour figure is that same statutory period expressed in hours.
Subsection-lettering caution — The emergency and service-request-consent clauses sit in the (B)–(C) range and sources render their order inconsistently, so ARS 33-1343 is cited across (A)–(D) rather than asserting letters for those two clauses.
