Covered persons must keep whatever documentation is needed to show that they are complying with the article's requirements. The provision does not specify a particular format or retention period, but the underlying obligation is to be able to demonstrate compliance if questioned.

For Property Managers

Under § 50-23, landlords and property managers who are subject to Phoenix's human relations article are generally expected to maintain organized records that document their compliance with the article's provisions. This typically includes records related to rental applications, tenant communications, and any decisions made in the leasing or management process. Operators who keep thorough, well-organized documentation are better positioned to respond to any inquiry about their practices under Chapter 50.

For Tenants

Section 50-23 of Phoenix's human relations article requires that covered parties — including housing providers — maintain records sufficient to demonstrate compliance. If a tenant believes a housing provider has violated the article, the existence of this recordkeeping requirement means that relevant documentation should, in principle, be available. Tenants who believe their rights under Chapter 50 have been violated may consider reaching out to the Phoenix Office of Human Relations or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what records might be relevant and what complaint processes are available.
