A landlord may not demand security, including prepaid rent, of more than one-and-a-half months’ rent (A.R.S. § 33-1321). Nonrefundable fees must be labeled in writing or they are refundable. After the tenancy ends and the tenant returns possession, the unused deposit and an itemized list are generally due within 14 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays. A move-in condition form is required.
Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (A.R.S. § 33-1375).
Except in an emergency, the landlord must give at least two days’ notice before entering (A.R.S. § 33-1343).
A Arizona rent increase should be in writing. Many landlords use at least the same notice they would use to end a month-to-month tenancy. Either party may end a month-to-month tenancy with at least 30 days’ written notice (A.R.S. § 33-1375). The lease may require more. Local rent-control rules can cap the amount even when the notice period is met.

State the purpose of every nonrefundable fee in writing. Anything not designated nonrefundable is refundable.
