Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities
questions & answers
Question: The Property Management company finally fixed the plumbing after 2.5 months of not working and draining human waste to the backyard...now I have holes throughout the kitchen and living room and in the walls. I have sent a certified letter asking for fit premises...but how can I get them to act to ensure my family is living in a safe environment?
Answer: If a signed and dated letter describing the problem in detail and requesting that the problem be fixed within a reasonable period of time does not prompt the landlord to fulfill the landlord’s obligation under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to “make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition” (A.R.S. 33-1324), then you may wish to seek assistance from a legal professional.
