Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: Can my landlord shut off the water to my apartment for maintenance without giving me any notice? Also, is it acceptable that this is happening a couple times a week for a couple of months now?

Answer: Under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, landlords may not shut off their tenants’ essential utility services, including water, “except as necessary to make needed repairs” (A.R.S. 33-1364(C)). The Act does not address a specific notice requirement. Tenants whose landlords negligently fail to supply running water have a number of legal options under A.R.S. 33-1364(A).
