The Arkansas Residential Landlord-Tenant Act of 2007 provides the following remedies for landlords when tenants fail to comply with the terms of a rental agreement:
Landlord’s Right to Repair
If there is noncompliance by the tenant with the section Arkansas Tenant to Maintain Dwelling Unit materially affecting health and safety that may be remedied by repair, replacement of a damaged item, or cleaning, and the tenant fails to comply as promptly as conditions require in case of emergency or within fourteen (14) days after written notice by the landlord specifying the noncompliance and requesting that the tenant remedy it within that period of time, the landlord may enter the dwelling unit and cause the work to be done in a workmanlike manner.
Note: The tenant shall reimburse the landlord for the cost of the work. In addition, the landlord shall have the remedies available under this Act.
Landlord’s Right to Terminate
If there is noncompliance by the tenant with this chapter materially affecting health and safety other than as stated in subsection (a) of this section, and the tenant fails to comply as promptly as conditions require in case of emergency or within fourteen (14) days after written notice by the landlord if it is not an emergency, specifying the noncompliance and requesting that the tenant remedy within that period of time, the landlord may terminate the rental agreement.
