Arizona Landlord Compliance Kit: Deposit, Notice and Eviction Checklists with an Excel Tracker

Who it is for

Landlords and property managers with rentals in Arizona, and tenants who want the same record, from move-in through move-out or a court case.

Not the right fit if

Your rental is outside Arizona: get that state's kit. Not legal advice, not a lawyer's review of a lease, notice or court case, and not a set of legal notice forms; city and county rules aren't covered.

Why it is different

• Built only from our Arizona data files, checked November 2026 against 10 official pages, among them Arizona Legislature: A.R.S. 33-1321, Security deposits; Arizona Legislature: A.R.S. 33-1375 (Periodic tenancy); Arizona Legislature: A.R.S. 33-1368 (Noncompliance; failure to pay rent); Arizona Legislature: A.R.S. 33-1343 (Access); Arizona Revised Statutes 33-1377: Special detainer actions; service; trial postponement; Arizona Judicial Branch Legal Info Hub: Eviction Actions.
• 6 items the official pages didn't state are marked "not confirmed" with the page to check, never guessed.
• The workbook recalculates with zero formula errors and works out Arizona notice and deposit dates for you.

What is inside

• Start here. How to use the kit, the 17 confirmed Arizona rules at a glance and the 6 items to confirm: rent increase notice, filing fee, writ to lockout, paying to stop the case, right to counsel (statewide), diversion or mediation (statewide), each with the official page to check.
• Arizona landlord rules checklist. Deposits, notice periods, the eviction case and the small claims limit, each confirmed rule with its source link and check date. What it confirms: deposit limit: No more than one and one-half months' rent, counting prepaid rent (33-1321(A)); return deadline: Within 14 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays, the landlord provides an itemized list of all deductions with any amount due (33-1321(D)); itemized list of deductions: An itemized list of all deductions (33-1321(D)); interest on the deposit: None stated in A.R.S. 33-1321; where the deposit is held: None stated in A.R.S. 33-1321; penalty the law states: Twice the amount wrongfully withheld, plus the money due (33-1321(E)); ending month-to-month (landlord): Written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice (10 days for week-to-week); ending month-to-month (tenant): Written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date named in the notice (10 days for week-to-week).
• Move-in and move-out deposit checklist. A room-by-room condition checklist for both visits and the steps after move-out, with Arizona's return deadline (within 14 business days).
• Notice calendar. When each notice must go out: the lead time for every notice the state's text confirms, with a 2027 month-by-month serve-by table worked out with our notice date calculator's rules.
• Eviction timeline sheet. The Arizona case in order from notice to lockout, with each confirmed stage, an example dated from a sample filing day where the rules give periods, and blanks for your own case dates.
• Arizona landlord workbook (Excel). A tenant notice log that dates each notice from the Arizona rules, a deposit tracker that works out the return date for each move-out, and a rent ledger with a running balance.
