Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: The landlord recently began a no smoking policy for apartments and their patios. There is a sign posted now. Would this also include our car ports which are not attached to living quarters?

Answer: It would probably depend on exactly how the new policy is worded. As a side note, if a tenant signs a rental agreement for a particular term – for example one year – the landlord generally may not change the rules that impact that agreement during the course of the tenancy without the tenant’s explicit permission, because the terms and conditions of the rental agreement govern the rights and obligations of the parties (A.R.S. 33-1314(A)).
