FREE ARIZONA LEASE/RENTAL AGREEMENT
Does your lease/rental agreement have ALL “NOTICES” and “SPECIAL PROVISIONS” that are REQUIRED by Arizona law?
How can you know if your lease/rental agreement complies with Arizona law?
- If your form was drafted before 2012, it doesn’t comply (some important laws changed in 2012 and after).
- If your form says it is “good in all 50 states,” it doesn’t comply (Arizona requires very specific notices and addenda).
- If you do a “word search” in your form and it doesn’t include these words: “inspection” and “department,” it doesn’t comply.
Solve that problem right here, right now.
If:
- You don’t have ANY lease/rental agreement, or
- You know (or NOW know) that your form does not comply with Arizona law, or
- You are not sure if your form complies with Arizona law, or
- Your form is older than 2012, or
- You simply want a form that was drafted by an Arizona landlord/tenant attorney…
Then you may use my FREE Arizona residential lease/rental agreement form. This FREE form was drafted by me — Carlton C. Casler, an Arizona attorney for nearly 30 years — specifically for Arizona residential rental property, and includes “landlord friendly” contract provisions (i.e., favorable to the landlord, not the tenant).
WARNING:
This form CANNOT be used by everyone!
Please understand the following limitations and exclusions BEFORE you use this lease form:
- This is a “basic” Lease; not many “bells & whistles,” but it includes all the notices and addenda required by law and is “landlord friendly” (i.e., favorable to the landlord). FEATURE COMPARISON (compare this form with two other forms I have drafted)
- This Lease was drafted specifically for Arizona. This Lease may not be valid in any other state.
- This Lease IS NOT for use by Arizona real estate agents or brokers because it does not include the additional provisions required by Arizona law when a lease form is used by real estate agents/brokers.
- This Lease IS NOT for use for “short-term” or vacation rentals (e.g., VRBO, AirBnB, HomeAway, etc.). Vacation rental property may not be subject to the Act, but use of this form would make the Act apply — you most certainly don’t want that!
- This Lease IS NOT for use by hotels, motels or any other “transient” occupants (as defined by the LL/T Act).
