Turn the statute into your own response times
City rules and your leases can be stricter than the state. Write your times as the strictest of the three.
- Count from when the tenant told you, because many deadlines start at notice
- Put heat, water, power and anything dangerous at the top, day or night
- Ask for notice in writing, and reply in writing, so the record exists if anyone asks
- Record every step with a time: the first reply, the booking, the visit and the confirmation
A question managers ask about Arizona
Where air conditioning or cooling is installed and offered, A.R.S. 33-1324 requires the landlord to supply reasonable cooling when seasonal weather calls for it and to keep it in good and safe working order. A failure that materially affects health and safety gets 5 days after written notice under 33-1361.
