[Browse the store](/toolkits) 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 13 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, plus National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read. - 4 items the official pages didn't state are left out of the rules and put on a short look-up list 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 19 confirmed Arizona rules at a glance and a short look-up list of 4 points to check: rent increase notice, writ to lockout, paying to stop the case, diversion or mediation (statewide), each with the official page. - **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); unpaid rent notice: 5 days after written notice of nonpayment and intent to terminate; entry notice: At least two days' notice, entering only at reasonable times, except in an emergency or where impracticable; late fee limits: A reasonable late fee set forth in a written rental agreement; no number stated; court: Justice court in the precinct; the statute also allows filing in superior court; filing fee: Set by your county court; ask the clerk; time to answer or appear: The tenant appears and answers at the time on the summons, which is the trial date; hearing after filing: The summons issues the day the complaint is filed and sets the trial 3 to 6 days out; service must be at least 2 days before; judgment to writ: The landlord returns to court for the writ of restitution after five days (sooner in some breach cases). - **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.
