Answer: The Arizona Landlord Tenant Act provides a list of the obligations Landlords owe to their Tenants. For a full list of obligations the landlord owes and the conduct they must keep, visit: https://housing.az.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/AZ%20Residential%20Landlord%20and%20Tenant%20Act%20-%20Revised%20July%203%202015.pdf

Obligations of Your Landlord:  Landlords must provide several things in exchange for rental payments. One of the most basic and important requirements is that your landlord provide you and your family with a healthy and safe living environment. Your living environment includes your apartment or home, and any common areas the landlord owns and holds open to residents.

Things Your Landlord Must Provide: The law specifically states that your landlord must keep all appliances, which they supply, in working order. Your landlord must provide you with a way to dispose of garbage. Your landlord must make it possible for you to receive running water, including hot water. Your landlord must supply everything they promised in the lease. They can only shut off your utilities in a few very limited situations.
