Answer: As a general rule, the answer is yes. Under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, a verbal rental agreement concerning the use and occupancy of a dwelling unit is just as enforceable as a written rental agreement (or lease) is (A.R.S. 33-1310(13)).
Generally no. A lease is a legally binding contract that cannot be altered unilaterally by either party.
State laws on leases and rental agreements can vary, but a landlord or property management company should provide you with a copy of your signed lease upon request. You should make your request in writing, so you have proof if there is a dispute later.
Handwritten agreements are somewhat impractical compared to typed versions. However, they are fully legal if written and formatted properly, and are preferable to verbal contracts in practically all cases.
Ing to Arizona law, a verbal contract is enforceable if it contains the following elements: 1. Offer and acceptance: The parties must have agreed on the terms of the agreement, including what each party will do.
In Arizona, your tenant will have to provide you with a written notice letter, and the time they have to do it will depend on the type of lease. Monthly Lease - 30 days or more. Weekly Lease - 10 days or more.
Handwritten contracts are legally binding if they meet the necessary conditions that apply to all contracts: mutual agreement, capacity, consideration, and legal validity. There are no legal differences between typed and handwritten agreements when it comes to enforceability.
Here's a list of standard fields that you should include in your lease agreement: Tenant information. Include each tenant's full name and contact information. Rental property description. Security deposit. Monthly rent amount. Utilities. Lease term. Policies. Late fees.
