Overview
- The conservative group filed its public-records lawsuit on Nov. 12 in Maricopa County Superior Court seeking materials tied to Mayes’ case against RealPage and major landlords.
- Goldwater says it submitted six requests, was ignored for 243 days, received one production, had four denied, and was told one set of records does not exist.
- The complaint argues denials improperly rely on confidentiality and attorney work product claims and asserts the office failed to adequately search for documents.
- A spokesperson for Mayes says the office produced all records required under Arizona law and emphasized the AG will continue pursuing the underlying rent-fixing case.
- The requested records include counts of consumer complaints and any rent-market analyses, set against Mayes’ February 2024 lawsuit and the Justice Department’s separate antitrust action against RealPage.
