So
I found the reason why?

"Arizona's attorney general filed a lawsuit Wednesday, Feb. 28,
2024, accusing multiple companies of illegally
conspiring to fix rent prices in Phoenix and Tucson"


So apparently the state of Arizona wants to raise rent and accused
many of keeping the rent too low prices.
Rather then raising the rent accordingly.
