A.R.S. § 33-1324 requires Arizona landlords to keep rentals fit and habitable — meeting building codes, maintaining electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling systems, and supplying running water and heat. If a landlord fails to act, A.R.S. § 33-1361 lets tenants terminate after a 5-day or 10-day notice, and § 33-1363 allows repair-and-deduct.
A.R.S. § 33-1324 obligates the landlord to 'comply with the requirements of applicable building codes materially affecting health and safety,' 'make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition,' maintain electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems in good working order, and supply 'running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times, reasonable heat and reasonable air-conditioning or cooling.' If the landlord breaches, A.R.S. § 33-1361 lets the tenant terminate if the issue is not fixed within five days (health and safety) or ten days (other material breaches). A.R.S. § 33-1363 permits repair-and-deduct up to the greater of $300 or one-half the monthly rent.
No specific statutory penalty. Tenants may terminate the lease, sue for damages and obtain injunctive relief, or use repair-and-deduct; courts may also award the larger of damages or one month's rent for certain unlawful landlord conduct.
