Landlord Repair Obligations

Beverly, I know that here in the state of Arizona according to the Landlord and Tenant Act of 2010 there is a form to fill out that is available on The Secretary of States web site requesting that the landlord make the major repair with in five days or respond to your son’s complaint. Should the landlord fail to do so he can hire a licensed contractor to make the repairs and the contractor can then put a lien on the apartment until the bill is paid in full. Your son cannot, and I repeat cannot withhold rent at any time. The landlord will evict him and take him to court. Eviction also means a ruined credit rating and homes with landlords he wouldn’t like. I hope this helps

I am having a terrible rodent problem in my apartment, so called condominium. I have trapped many rats and put poison in the traps, got rid of them, but my landlord is too cheap to pay pest control and removal of rodents, please tell me what can i do?? I am very concerned about my health and my pets health too. I already lost a dog because of this. pease tell me who can i write to. this owner is a terrible slumblord. he should be ashamed of himself, but no he is a bastard that does not care about anyone, its always his way or the highway, well i put my foot down and report to code enforcement. but he still has til june 27th to remedy the problem. if he does not do anything then i am going to have to go higher. does anyone knows where else can i write or call???
