Arizona Residential Lease Agreement
Arizona landlord-tenant law sets clear boundaries, and your lease agreement needs to reflect them. Arizona caps security deposits at 1.5 months’ rent and requires return within 14 business days — failure results in forfeiture of any withheld amount. Build a compliant Arizona lease through RentRisk, powered by Rocket Lawyer, and manage your entire rental property in one place.
