Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-2123
Landlord to maintain fit premises
Operative Text
The landlord shall: 1. Make all repairs and do whatever is necessary to put and keep the premises in a fit and habitable condition. 2. Comply with all applicable provisions of city, county and state codes materially affecting health and safety.
Under A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2123, Arizona law places an ongoing duty on landlords to keep rental premises in a fit and habitable condition. This means landlords must make necessary repairs and comply with city, county, and state health and safety codes that materially affect the living environment. The rule applies throughout the tenancy, not just at move-in.

A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2123 establishes that compliant landlords in Arizona routinely inspect their properties, address repair needs promptly, and ensure the premises meet applicable local and state health and safety codes. Operators generally maintain documentation of repairs and code-compliance efforts as evidence of their ongoing obligations under this provision. Staying current with city and county code requirements is a core part of meeting the habitability standard this section imposes.

A.R.S. § 33-2101 et seq. § 33-2123 gives Arizona tenants the right to live in premises that are fit, habitable, and compliant with health and safety codes. If a landlord fails to meet these obligations, tenants may have options such as providing written notice of the deficiency, raising the violation as a defense in eviction proceedings, or filing a complaint with a local housing or code enforcement agency. Tenant-rights organizations in Arizona can help explain the range of remedies available under this provision.
