Arizona has no dedicated bed-bug disclosure law. Maricopa County tenants rely on the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act §33-1324 habitability provisions, and MCESD accepts environmental health complaints when infestations create unsanitary conditions in rental housing.
Unlike California Civil Code §1954.603, Arizona has not enacted a specific bed-bug disclosure or treatment-allocation statute. Maricopa County tenants rely on the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, ARS §33-1324, which requires landlords to maintain fit and habitable premises and comply with health and safety codes. A bed-bug infestation generally qualifies as a habitability defect, allowing tenants to deliver written notice under ARS §33-1361 demanding repair within ten days. If unaddressed, tenants may terminate the lease, sue for damages, or use repair-and-deduct remedies. Maricopa County Environmental Services Department also accepts complaints when infestations affect public health in rental housing or hotels.
Landlord failure to address bed bugs after a written ARS §33-1361 notice can result in lease termination, damages, and attorney fees. MCESD or city code enforcement may issue citations for verminous conditions in rental buildings under nuisance codes.
