Living in Peoria, AZ
How does sunshine nearly 300 days out of the year sound? If you want beautiful outdoors and great amenities, try Peoria. WalletHub ranked it #8 on their list of Best Cities for Renters.
Because with excellent schools and thriving businesses, there's a lot to love about this Phoenix suburb. Baseball fans have spring training to look forward to every year, as well as other pro sports nearby. And nature enthusiasts have plenty of regional parks and trails to explore. You can even cool off in Lake Pleasant or one of the public pools in town.
There are a few downsides though. Summers get extremely hot, with temperatures in the 100s for nearly a third of the year. Adding to the heat is the lack of greenery. If you’re the type of person who prefers lush green trees over shrubs and cacti, Peoria won’t provide the scenery you seek.

Tips for Renting in Peoria
As you can see, there are plenty of reasons to live in Peoria. But let's take a quick look at the tenant laws.
Since Arizona has laws prohibiting rent control, your landlord can increase the rent as much as they want – once the lease has expired, of course.
If utilities need repair but the landlord isn’t fixing them in a timely manner, you can hire a licensed contractor and then deduct the expenses from the next month’s rent. Just make sure to provide receipts.
Rental agreements vary between landlords, so make sure you read your lease in its entirety before you sign.
