Arizona Room Rental Agreement

This Room Rental Agreement is built with Arizona as the governing state. These are the Arizona landlord-tenant rules that most often bear on it, with the statute for each.

Security deposits in Arizona

An Arizona landlord can’t demand or receive security — including prepaid rent — of more than one and one-half months’ rent (§33-1321(A)). A tenant may voluntarily prepay more rent, but the landlord can’t require it.

Non-refundable fees — The purpose of every non-refundable fee or deposit must be stated in writing. Any fee or deposit not designated non-refundable is refundable (§33-1321(B)).
Move-in paperwork — At the start of the tenancy the landlord must give the tenant a signed copy of the lease, a move-in form for recording existing damage, and written notice that the tenant may be present at the move-out inspection (§33-1321(C)).
14 business days — After the tenancy ends, possession is delivered and the tenant makes a demand, the landlord has 14 days — excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — to mail an itemized list of deductions and the balance to the tenant’s last known address (§33-1321(D)).
Double damages — A landlord who doesn’t comply can owe the tenant the amount due plus damages of twice the amount wrongfully withheld (§33-1321(E)).
Pet deposits — Arizona has no separate pet-deposit statute, so a refundable pet deposit counts toward the 1½-month cap. No pet deposit or fee may be charged for an assistance animal under fair-housing law.

Rent, late fees & rent increases

Late fees — Arizona sets no dollar or percentage cap and no grace period. A late fee must be reasonable and set out in the written rental agreement to be collectible (§33-1368(B)).
Rent increases — There’s no rent-increase statute. Rent can’t change during a fixed term unless the lease allows it; for month-to-month, give at least the 30 days needed to end the tenancy (§33-1375(B)).
Rent control — The power to control rents on private residential property is preempted by the state, so no Arizona city can cap rent (§33-1329).
No rental sales tax — Since January 1, 2025, Arizona cities may no longer levy transaction privilege tax on long-term residential rent, and landlords must stop passing that tax through to tenants (Laws 2023, ch. 204 — SB 1131).

Landlord entry & access

Except in an emergency or where it’s impracticable, an Arizona landlord must give at least two days’ notice of intent to enter and enter only at reasonable times (§33-1343). When the tenant requests a repair or service, that request itself serves as permission to enter for the work.

The tenant may not unreasonably withhold consent to entry for inspections, repairs, services or showings — but the landlord may not abuse the right of access or use it to harass the tenant.

Arizona Room Rental Agreement FAQs

How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in Arizona?

No more than one and one-half months’ rent, counting security and any required prepaid rent together (A.R.S. §33-1321(A)). Any non-refundable fee must be labeled as such in writing, or it’s treated as refundable (§33-1321(B)).

How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in Arizona?

Fourteen days, not counting Saturdays, Sundays or legal holidays, after the tenancy ends, possession is returned and the tenant makes a demand. The landlord must mail an itemized list of deductions with the balance; failing to comply can cost twice the amount wrongfully withheld (§33-1321(D), (E)).

Is there a limit on late fees in Arizona?

There’s no numeric cap or statutory grace period. A late fee must be reasonable and written into the rental agreement to be enforceable (§33-1368(B)).
