Arizona Landlord-Tenant Laws

Arizona caps security deposits at one and one-half months' rent and requires return within 14 business days after move-out. Landlords must give at least two days' notice before entering.

Informational summary, not legal advice. Landlord-tenant law changes and local ordinances may add requirements. Verify the current statute (Ariz. Rev. Stat. 33-1321 (deposits), 33-1343 (entry), 33-1375 (termination)) or consult a licensed Arizona attorney before acting. All rentals must also comply with the federal Fair Housing Act — you may not select tenants or write listings based on a protected class.
