Not legal advice. Current as of May 2026. Verify with a local attorney before any compliance decision.
Arkansas landlords may pursue either a civil unlawful detainer (3-day notice) or a criminal eviction (10-day notice) for nonpayment. Criminal route: tenant cannot cure by paying; civil route allows cure. The 2-month deposit cap applies to landlords with 6+ units. Smaller landlords still typically follow this standard.
