FAQ - Evictions

My air conditioner stopped cooling. What do I have to do to exercise my rights under the law?

If a landlord fails to supply a reasonable amount of heat, air conditioning, or cooling where such units are installed and offered, the tenant can exercise the rights provided by Arizona law. The tenant is required to give the landlord written notice specifying what is wrong. If the landlord does not fix the issue timely, the tenant may then choose any of the statutory remedies. The notice can be a letter that is mailed certified or registered mail, but it can also be an email or a text message as long as the tenant has proof it was sent and that the landlord received it.
