Question: Can my landlord turn off the water without notice
Answer: As a general rule, residential landlords are required to provide their tenants with advance notice of a utility service interruption, unless it is not possible (as in the case of an emergency). The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act states that the landlord must “supply running water and reasonable amounts of hot water at all times” (A.R.S. 33-1324(A)). The Arizona Mobile Home Parks Residential Landlord and Tenant Act states that the landlord must “provide a statement of proposed interruption of utility service to the tenants within a reasonable time frame except in the case of an interruption caused by an emergency. An emergency does not include any failure or refusal on the part of the landlord to fulfill the landlord’s duties and obligations as specified in this section. A statement of proposed interruption of utility service may be provided by posting an announcement of the period of the interruption in a conspicuous place within the mobile home park or by individual delivery to each tenant” (A.R.S. 33-1434(A).)
