Frequently asked questions
How much can a landlord charge for a rental application in Arizona?
Arizona sets no statewide cap on application fees (ARS §33-1321(B)), so the amount is up to the landlord — market rates run $25-$75. Fees not marked "nonrefundable" in writing are refundable. Source: Arizona Legislature.
Is the application a lease?
No. The application only collects information for screening. If approved, landlord and tenant then sign a lease — see our Arizona lease agreement template, which reflects Arizona's deposit and notice rules.
