can anyone point me to general legal templates? i am looking for something along the lines of a contract. my apartment was infested by bees and i want to make sure my landlord compensates me for some damages and for time spent in a hotel.

...I don't know how things work where you are - but I know from past experience that these things get classed as an "act of god" - we had a massive wasp nest in the chimney in a house I lived in and they were coming through the fireplaces in all the rooms that were attached to the chimney.
After a visit from the relevant people (wasp killers) we removed the nest and wrecked carpets throughout the house in the process - when it came time for the insurance people to have a look at the damage and pay up they hit us with the act of god card!!! Didn't get a penny from them and had to replace the carpets ourselves.I hope you get a better result from this than I did from my experience - but I'd watch out for that "act of god" clause.
Also - should't you have signed the contract prior to moving in?
Good luck though ;-)

a lease in arizona cant not allow the renter to be held liable for anything outside of certain scope provided in the laws. this includes an unlivable environment due to bees!

...fair enough - sounds like you do have fair cause in that case.
Just thought I'd put my past experience your way.
Good luck amigo.
