My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Arizona.
Hello, we have just moved into a duplex unit in the past week and are dumbfounded by the lack of help from the management company. There has been many scenarios in which we have documented with pictures and email communication and the initial walk in as a problem. One which our main concern is this, the floors in the kitchen, bathroom and hallway are old vinyl flooring. Some of it is chipped and lifted in other areas. The previous tenants in the home had large dogs which urinated in the bathroom and up by the sliding glass door for the patio. Due to the vinyl flooring lifting in different areas, the urine seeped underneath the flooring. We have emailed and requested to see if they can arrange a clean up of this or possible replacement and refuse to do nothing. I have yet to send any certified letters to them about it but from what has transpired Id like to know what I can do. Every time the shower is on or heat is in the restroom the smell is immense and nauseous. We have used vinegar, bleach and hydrogen peroxide to soak the floor with in hopes of getting rid of it and nothing has happened. I've forwarded the land lord tenant act to advise them that we were to be provided a home that's a habitable and sanitized home within all the common areas and still refuse to do it. Its not owned by a person but the actual realty group we rent it through, per the public tax records. This I feel is a sanitization issue and falls under category to resolve with the landlord tenant act. We have also taken pictures using black light to show the areas of the urine to be shown as well to document. We are not trying to be pushy or demanding but the absolute denial of handling an issue like this is a slap in the face. They even advertised on Zillo and Hot Pads website that walls will be painted and new carpet AND FLOORING will be put in. Even though it may not be on the lease, its been noted so early within us moving. No one picked up on it due to the smell of paint and primer masked it, and no hot air was going through the restroom either. I just want the smell gone and them to take care of it, whether they can possibly treat or clean it or replace the flooring. We told them its violating our rental rights and the tenant landlord agreement, emailed them the proper sections that they need to fulfill, advised them its making us feel ill breathing it in every time we clean ourselves and that its not sanitary. If it ws something I could simply mop out I wouldn't care but its under the vinyl and they don't care for it as an issue. What can I do or am I right within getting an attorney?:wallbang:
