Answer: According to the landlord/tenant act (ARS 33-1366) if the unit is uninhabitable due to a fire that is not your fault you can "immediately vacate the premises and notify the landlord in writing within fourteen days of your intention to terminate the rental agreement". Your liability to pay rent ceases as of the day you vacate.
