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.

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)).
