Arizona Lease Agreement Template
Reviewed by the Agiled editorial teamUpdated June 2026
The lease template below works in Arizona once you fill in the state-specific numbers — and those numbers are what this page covers: the deposit cap, how fast the deposit must come back, how much notice the landlord owes before entering, and what it takes to end a month-to-month tenancy. The download is the same attorney-style boilerplate as our standard lease; Arizona law fills in the blanks.

How Arizona handles lease agreements
Arizona counts the deposit return deadline in business days, not calendar days — a detail both sides routinely miss when planning a move-out. In Arizona, the security deposit rule is: capped at 1.5 months' rent. After move-out, the landlord's deadline to return the deposit is 14 business days after move-out, and ending a month-to-month tenancy takes 30 days' written notice. Confirm current figures against the state statute before signing — legislatures amend landlord-tenant law frequently.
Arizona lease agreement FAQs
How much can a landlord charge for a security deposit in Arizona?
Capped at 1.5 months' rent. Put the exact deposit amount in the lease, along with where it is held, and check the current statute — several states have recently lowered their caps.
How long does a landlord have to return a security deposit in Arizona?
14 business days after move-out. The return should include an itemized statement for any deductions; missing the statutory deadline can expose the landlord to penalty damages in many states.
How much notice does a landlord need to enter a rental in Arizona?
2 days' notice. Even where no statute sets a number, writing a notice period into the lease (24–48 hours is the national norm) protects both sides.
How much notice is required to end a month-to-month tenancy in Arizona?
30 days' written notice. Give notice in writing and keep proof of delivery — the notice period is one of the most commonly litigated lease terms.
