Free Arizona Rental/Lease Application

Use our Arizona Rental/Lease Application to vet tenants before renting your property.

Updated January 24, 2023 | Legally reviewed by Susan Chai, Esq.

An Arizona Rental/Lease Application is a form for requesting detailed information from prospective renters.

It can ask applicants for information related to their future tenancy, such as personal details, employment details, other sources of income, rental or residential history, banking and financial information, vehicle information, and character references.

After tenants fill out the rental application, property management companies and landlords can use the completed application to screen tenants before entering into an Arizona Lease Agreement.

The information provided in the application, including the background check consent statement, allows landlords and property management companies to perform credit checks, reference checks, criminal background checks, eviction record searches, and more.

A rental application in Arizona is also called a:

  • Rental application form
  • Lease application
  • Tenant application form

Arizona Rental Application Fees

Application Fee

Arizona has no maximum rental application fees.

However, you should only charge rental application fees that are reasonable and approximate to the cost of running background checks, generally about $30 to $40 per application.

Pet Deposit

Landlords and property management companies in Arizona can charge tenants pet deposits to cover potential damages to the property a might cause.

Security Deposit

Landlords cannot charge more than one and one-half month’s rent for a security deposit in Arizona. However, tenants can pay more than one and one-half month’s rent in advance.

Arizona security deposits are refundable unless you state in writing that they are nonrefundable.

Authorization for Background Check

You must get their consent to perform a background check on a prospective tenant.

This permission is part of our Arizona rental application or you can get the prospective tenant  to sign a separate standalone background check authorization form, which:

  • Gives you express permission to perform the background check and use the results to vet tenants
  • Lets you gather information about the applicant to run the background check 
  • Tells the tenant which checks you will run

How To Conduct an Eviction Record Search in Arizona

Tenants tend to have patterns of behavior.

They are probably not ideal tenants if they have one or multiple evictions. Remember, eviction only happens in severe cases — for example, if a tenant repeatedly refuses to pay rent or damages their landlord’s property.

That’s why you should always conduct eviction record searches in Arizona when vetting potential tenants. Eviction record searches show which tenants have evictions and how often landlords have evicted them.

To conduct an eviction record search in Arizona:

  1. Go to Arizona Supreme Court Case Search.
  2. Type in the prospective renter’s name and date of birth.
  3. Pick the appropriate civil case to review eviction records.
