Free Arizona Residential Lease/Rental Agreement

Use our Arizona Lease Agreement to rent out your residential property.

Updated November 5, 2020

Federal law mandates all Rental and Lease Agreements incorporate the following elements:

  • The identifying information of both parties,
  • The address and legal description of the property,
  • Whether pets are allowed and any pet conditions,
  • Disclosures and information about safety hazards or health risks,
  • Rent details, such as the amount due, the amount of the security deposit, and the payment methods accepted.

States do retain autonomy from the federal government and will often differ in various aspects of the rental and leasing process. It is important to become familiar with the specific leasing requirements in Arizona. Understanding the differences will allow you to create a comprehensive and thorough lease agreement, saving you the hassle and legal and financial issues in the future.

The sample lease agreement below describes a contract between “Landlord” Kevin Lee and “Tenant” Olivia Graham. She agrees to rent a duplex in Columbia for $1,000 per month for a fixed term. The tenant agrees to pay for all utilities and services for the Premises. This is a good example of what provisions a simple lease agreement might contain, and how one should look in its final form.
