This Agreement is made on [__/__/____] between Landlord [FULL LEGAL NAME] and Tenant(s) [FULL LEGAL NAME(S)]. Landlord leases the dwelling at [STREET ADDRESS, UNIT, CITY, ARIZONA ZIP] to Tenant on the terms below.

Included parking, storage, furnishings, appliances, and other areas: [________________________________]. Authorized additional occupants: [________________________________].

The person authorized to manage the dwelling is [NAME, ADDRESS]. The owner or person authorized to receive service of process, notices, and demands is [NAME, ADDRESS]. Landlord will keep this information current and provide it again on Tenant's request.

The Arizona residential landlord and tenant act is available on the Arizona Department of Housing's website. Landlord will give Tenant a completed signed copy of this Agreement.

2. Monthly term and rent

The month-to-month tenancy begins [__/__/____]. Each rental month begins on day [____] of the month, and rent is due on that same day. The first partial period, if any, runs from [__/__/____] through [__/__/____] for $[________].

Monthly rent is $[________], payable to [NAME] by [PAYMENT METHOD] at [ADDRESS / PORTAL]. Any change to these payment instructions must be communicated to Tenant in writing.

Late charge: ☐ None ☐ One charge of $[________] if a monthly rent installment remains unpaid [____] days after its due date. The selected amount and trigger apply only to the extent lawful. The charge is recorded separately from periodic rent; no daily or compounded charge is created by this Agreement.

3. Security, condition, and move-out accounting

Security deposit: $[________]. Prepaid rent, if any: $[________] for [PERIOD]. Landlord will not demand security, however named, including prepaid rent, worth more than one and one-half months' rent. A tenant may voluntarily pay more rent in advance. Any nonrefundable fee must be identified by purpose and amount in writing: [PURPOSE AND AMOUNT / NONE]. An amount not designated nonrefundable is refundable.

At move-in, Landlord will provide a signed copy of this Agreement, a move-in form for noting existing damage, and written notice that Tenant may be present for the move-out inspection. Landlord will notify Tenant of the move-out inspection time on request, subject to the exception in A.R.S. § 33-1321(C).

After termination, delivery of possession, and Tenant's demand, Landlord will send an itemized deduction list and any amount due within 14 days excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. Unless Tenant makes other written arrangements, Landlord will mail these by first-class mail to Tenant's last known residence. Landlord may apply security only as allowed by the signed agreement and A.R.S. § 33-1321(D), subject to the duty to mitigate. Under that subsection, a tenant who does not dispute deductions or the amount due within 60 days after mailing waives further claims to that amount. Tenant's forwarding address and written demand may be provided here or separately: [________________________________].

4. Care and use

Landlord will keep the premises fit and habitable, keep common areas clean and safe, and maintain supplied or required systems and appliances as A.R.S. § 33-1324 requires. Repair and emergency contact: [NAME, PHONE, EMAIL].

Tenant will keep the occupied areas clean and safe, dispose of waste safely, use systems and appliances reasonably, avoid damage, and avoid unreasonable disturbance. Tenant will report needed repairs to [CONTACT AND METHOD].

The premises are for residential use. Pets: ☐ None ☐ The pets listed here are permitted: [DETAILS]. Smoking rule: [________________________________]. Additional agreed house rules are attached as Exhibit [____] and apply only to the extent lawful.

For dwellings covered by A.R.S. § 33-1319, Landlord will provide bedbug educational materials to Tenant. The statute excludes landlord and tenant of a single-family residence. Materials delivered: [TITLE / DATE / NOT APPLICABLE—SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE].

5. Entry

Tenant will not unreasonably withhold consent to entry for a purpose allowed by A.R.S. § 33-1343. Except in an emergency or when notice is impracticable, Landlord will give at least two days' notice of intended entry and enter at a reasonable time. A Tenant service or maintenance request grants permission solely to act on that request under § 33-1343(B), without a separate notice otherwise required by subsection (D). Emergency and other statutory access routes remain governed by that section. Entry scheduling contact: [PHONE / EMAIL].

6. Ending the tenancy

Either party may end this month-to-month tenancy by written notice given at least 30 days before the periodic rental date specified in the notice. The parties will identify that date from Section 2. Nonpayment, breach, and other grounds for ending the tenancy require the separate law and notice applicable to those facts.

Notices under this Agreement must be in writing. The parties agree to deliver them personally, by mail to the notice address below, or by another method they later agree to in writing if permitted by law. The sender will retain a dated copy and proof of delivery or mailing. This delivery clause does not change a statutory period or authorize eviction without lawful process.

Landlord notice address: [________________________________].
Tenant notice address: the Dwelling, or [OTHER ADDRESS GIVEN IN WRITING].

On move-out, Tenant will return keys and possession and provide a forwarding address. The parties will record the move-out condition and any agreed surrender arrangements.

7. Attachments and complete agreement

The following are part of this Agreement when completed and attached:

• ☐ Move-in condition form and, if applicable, contents inventory.
• ☐ Written notice of Tenant's option to attend the move-out inspection.
• ☐ Bedbug educational materials, if A.R.S. § 33-1319 applies.
• ☐ Property-specific rules or addenda: [________________________________].
• ☐ Applicable federal, local, or program disclosures: [________________________________].

Any amendment must be in writing and signed by Landlord and Tenant. A term that conflicts with nonwaivable law is ineffective to that extent; the remaining lawful terms continue. This Agreement creates no attorney-fee promise, liability waiver, indemnity, or self-help right.
