This sounds like you may need to begin the non-renewal of the tenancy process.
The non-renewal of the tenancy process applies to all landlords/master tenants and tenants. Arizona law does not concern itself with whether the agreement is in writing or whether the tenant has paid rent. Non-renewal procedures also apply to subtenants as well. No formal agreement is needed for something like this.
The landlord/master tenant does not need to give a reason, as the law doesn’t require landlords to rent out their property indefinitely. Generally, a landlord/master tenant must follow procedural requirements when issuing a notice of non-renewal. A simple written notice of non-renewal, given to the tenant or taped to the door (and a copy mailed to the property), is sufficient.
I have drafted a written notice of non-renewal template for purchase to save you money and time.
If the tenant pays rent, then a 30-day notice would need to be given at least 30 days before the next rent payment (ARS 33-1375 - Periodic tenancy; hold over remedies). If the tenant does not pay rent, the 30-day notice can be given at any time.

I am not sure if I am filling out the right Eviction Notice.
I understand that you're unsure about the Eviction Notice you're filling out. Are you a landlord or a tenant?
I am the landlord.
Which state are you located in, as eviction laws can vary by location?
Arizona.
Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your Eviction Notice.
The history of the property is that the land was bought for my brother and his wife at the time and kids. He was supposed to pay our parents back for the property, but never did.
Hello! Legal Eagle here. What specific reason are you considering the eviction for your tenant?
The property belongs to my mother and myself. We want to evict my brother's girlfriend since his death on March 16, 2024. She has no rights to the property; they were never married.
Thanks! Did you ever give a notice to vacate prior to this?
No, this is the first one. I was giving them until Spring, because winter where we live it is really hard to find a place to live.
So, spring is coming up and we would like to clean up the property and maybe sell it.
She isn't paying anything to live there, nor has she offered to pay. She thinks she should be able to stay there for free.
Ok got it—
Understood! So you're just wondering what you need to do here, correct?
I needed to know what kind of Eviction Notice I should give her and her family to vacate the property.
