Arizona Landlord/Tenant Important Information is a set of guidelines and regulations that govern the relationship between a landlord and their tenants. This information is intended to ensure that both the landlord and tenant understand their respective rights and responsibilities as well as to protect the interests of both parties in the tenancy agreement. The Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (ALTA) outlines the rights and duties of landlords and tenants in Arizona. The most important information includes: • Security Deposits: Landlords are legally required to return the security deposit to the tenant, with any applicable deductions, within 14 days of the tenant's move-out date. • Lease Termination: Tenants can terminate their lease agreement through a written notice to the landlord, while landlords must provide at least 60 days' notice to terminate a lease. • Rent Increases: Landlords must provide tenants with at least 30 days' notice of any rent increase. • Repairs and Maintenance: Landlords are responsible for ensuring that rental properties are habitable and in good repair. • Eviction: Landlords can evict a tenant if they fail to comply with the terms of the rental agreement. • Discrimination: Landlords cannot discriminate against tenants on the basis of race, religion, gender, or other protected categories. • Subleasing: Landlords can prohibit subleasing without their written consent. • Late Fees: Landlords can assess late fees if rent is not paid by the due date. • Utilities: Landlords must provide tenants with access to utilities such as water, gas, and electricity.
