It is my understanding that under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ALTA), retaliatory actions by a landlord, such as decreasing or diminishing essential services or amenities, are strictly prohibited. I trust that you are fully aware of your obligations as a landlord under this Act. Since the commencement of my tenancy, I have strived to be a responsible and respectful tenant by fulfilling all my obligations, including the timely payment of rent, abiding by the lease terms, and respecting the property.
