Know your Arizona rules

Frequently asked questions
Is this lease valid in Arizona?
A written lease that clearly identifies the parties, the property, the term, and the rent is generally enforceable in Arizona when both sides sign. This template covers those essentials. Arizona, like every state, has landlord-tenant rules (on deposits, entry, and notice) that override anything conflicting in a lease — so review your state’s rules and, for complex situations, have an attorney check it.
How much security deposit can a landlord charge in Arizona?
In Arizona, the security deposit is limited to 1.5 months' rent, and it must be returned within 14 days after move-out (as of 2026). Source: Ariz. Rev. Stat. §33-1321. Confirm the current rule before you sign.
Do I need to notarize a lease in Arizona?
Most residential leases do not need to be notarized to be valid. Signatures from the landlord and each tenant are what matter. Longer leases (often over one year) can have extra formality requirements in some states — check Arizona’s rules if your term is long.
