If you rent, the Arizona Residential Landlord & Tenant Act applies to you. This law explains what rights and responsibilities landlords and tenants have. For example, it explains what to do when a tenant needs a landlord to make repairs and what a landlord needs to do to legally evict a tenant.
Tenants and landlords both have responsibilities or obligations under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Free copies of the Act are available from the Arizona Secretary of State at (602) 542-4086. Requests for alternate formats for this publication may be made five days in advance by contacting the Secretary of State ADA Coordinator at (602) 542-4285.
