Landlord & Tenant Laws in Arizona.

Arizona ties the landlord's itemization deadline to termination of the tenancy, delivery of possession, and demand by the tenant. The written accounting and any balance due must generally be sent within 14 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays.

In Arizona, a landlord generally may not demand more than one and one-half months' rent as a security deposit for most residential leases, and must provide an itemized list of deductions and any amount due within 14 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after termination of the tenancy, delivery of possession, and demand by the tenant.

If the landlord fails to comply with Arizona's security deposit statute, the tenant may recover the money due together with damages equal to twice the amount wrongfully withheld.
