Landlord and Tenant Rights and Responsibilities

questions & answers

Question: Rented from a Property management company for one year. They kept my full deposit after move out - 10 years later, they are sending me a bill for $200. what rights do I have?

Answer: The answer to this sort of question usually depends on what the bill is for and when the tenant was first informed that they owe the landlord money. Under Arizona Law, the statute of limitations for breach of a written contract is six years (A.R.S. 12-548), meaning that a civil lawsuit against a person for violating a written agreement must be initiated within six years. You may want to seek (free) legal advice about how you should respond to your former landlord given your specific situation.
