A Phoenix lease agreement is a legal document outlining the terms and conditions between a landlord and tenant for a rental property. It includes details such as the duration, rent amount, security deposit, responsibilities of both parties, rules regarding property use, and provisions for any potential disputes or lease termination.
In Phoenix, landlords must adhere to the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Title 33, Chapter 10), which sets the standard for residential tenancies. However, there are additional regulations and local considerations beyond state requirements.
Property owners must update the County Assessor within ten days of any changes to their contact information, property details, or building construction year. Failure to comply may result in tenants issuing a 10-day notice to terminate the tenancy, with the property owner required to refund prepaid rent if the information isn’t updated within the specified timeframe (Phoenix Municipal Code Sec. 39-48).
The City Council passed an ordinance in March 2023 prohibiting discrimination in property sales or rentals based on a person’s income source. Code violators may face penalties of up to $2,500 (Phoenix Municipal Code Sec. 18-11.16).
Although not required, landlords have the flexibility to add specific disclosures into their lease agreements to address potential liability issues:
