FOR LANDLORDS - Arizona Residential Landlord-Tenant Law Guide - LibGuides at University of Arizona
LANDLORD CREATED RULES
This guide was originally prepared by Leah Sandwell-Weiss. It has been updated by Sarah Slinger, Library Fellow.
The following provides information and resources concerning LANDLORD issues and concerns. The guide covers landlord duties, rights and remedies in the event of a breach by a tenant, landlord created rules, and acceptable self help measures.
MOVE-IN DUTIES
DUTY TO MAINTAIN THE RESIDENCE
In general, landlords must provide safe, clean and habitable residences. Among other things, they must:
Comply with building codes concerning health and safety (A.R.S. § 33-1324(A)(1));
Maintain all appliances must be in working order (A.R.S. § 33-1324(A)(4)); and
Provide running water, reasonable amounts of hot water, and heating and air-conditioning when required by the weather (A.R.S. § 33-1324(A)(6)).
If a landlord fails to comply with his or her obligations, and the cost of compliance would have been $300.00 or less (as stated in A.R.S. 33-1363(A)), the tenant may recover damages for the breach under A.R.S. § 33-1361(B) or may notify the landlord of the tenant's intention to correct the condition at the landlord's expense. A.R.S. § 33-1363(A). This process, called "self-help for minor defects", is outlined further in A.R.S. § 33-1363.
If a landlord deliberately or negligently fails to provide water, gas or electrical services, a tenant has several remedies that are outlined in A.R.S. § 33-1364.
TENANT BREACH OF RENTAL AGREEMENT
If a tenant fails to comply with the rental agreement, the landlord may deliver a written notice to the tenant specifying what the tenant did or didn't do and that the rental agreement will terminate upon a date not less than ten days after receipt of the notice if the breach is not remedied in ten days. A.R.S. § 33-1368.
Specific requirements to adopt such rules and regulations are set forth in A.R.S. § 33-1342(A). These rules cannot have the purpose of evading the landlord's obligations. New rules require 30 days' notice to existing tenants. A.R.S. § 33-1342(B).
