Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Arizona

Re: Rent money

You should notify the landlord that you paid the rent on a timely basis, to the landlord's property manager. That should constitute proper rent payment becaue the property manager is the agent of the landlord. It is the landlord's problem to collect the rent from his agent. I suggest you make future rent payments directly to the landlord.

You don't have to get the money back from the property manager. It may also be helpful to make a police report to prove that you did in fact pay the rent money to the property manager.

Re: Rent money

Payment to the property manager constitutes payment of the rent. You should have the property manager give you a receipt for your payment, and if he/she refuses, you should make a police report. You should also notify the landlord that you paid the rent to the property manager.
