Arizona Move-In Condition Checklist
Arizona requires a move-in condition form when you take a deposit. Fill it out on day one. It is what you will compare against the 14-day itemized list at move-out.
- Give the tenant a signed lease and a damage form at move-in (A.R.S. § 33-1321).
- Tell the tenant they may be present at the move-out inspection.
- This checklist is not a lease.
Open a filled sample with every optional field and checkbox completed.

Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about Arizona move-in checklist papers. LeaseGen.io is not a law firm. Confirm current statutes before anyone signs.
- Why use a move-in checklist?
- A signed move-in condition report documents how the unit looked at the start. At move-out, you compare it to support lawful deposit deductions. In Arizona, unused deposit is generally due within 14 days after the tenancy ends.
- What is ordinary wear and tear?
- Wear and tear is the normal deterioration from living in a home — minor scuffs, faded paint, worn carpet in traffic paths. It is not deductible from a security deposit. Damage beyond that may be.
- Should the tenant sign the move-in checklist?
- Yes, when possible. Both sides should walk the unit, note existing damage, and sign and date the list. Each party keeps a copy.
