As temperatures rise to triple digits, Attorney General Kris Mayes is warning landlords about their obligations under Arizona law as well as advising tenants on the rights they have if their air conditioning (AC) needs repair or otherwise fails to provide a habitable living environment. “Extreme heat poses a serious health risk, and it’s unacceptable for tenants to be without proper air conditioning during summer months. In the case of an outage, landlords and management companies must take swift action to ensure residents have safe and habitable living conditions in accordance with the law. Landlords should be on notice that I will not hesitate to enforce these critical protections for Arizonans because adequate air conditioning is a matter of life and death in Arizona’s summer heat.” – AG Mayes
