​AG Mayes and Senator Lauren Kuby today announced the introduction of Senate Bill 1608, landmark legislation that would establish minimum habitability standards for indoor temperatures in Arizona rental properties statewide and protect vulnerable tenants during periods of extreme heat or cold.

"No Arizonan, no matter where they live, should have to suffer in dangerous heat or cold because their landlord fails to maintain safe living conditions. This legislation establishes common-sense protections that recognize that landlords have a responsibility to provide safe and habitable housing even in rural parts of our state. It’s far past time we provide these protections to every tenant in Arizona. I want to thank Senator Kuby for introducing this critical legislation as well as her colleagues in the Senate for co-sponsoring it." – AG Mayes
