Arizona Leases
TurboTenant's Arizona lease agreement, crafted by local attorneys and property owners, ensures legal compliance and full protection for landlords.
TurboTenant’s Arizona lease agreement is a testament to meticulous drafting and thorough review by Arizona’s finest lawyers and landlords. The document is designed to ensure landlords remain compliant with state laws while providing protection as they rent out their properties. Let us delve into the framework of this essential leasing tool.
Section 1 – Personalization of Your Lease
In Section 1, landlords personalize the agreement with specific details about the lease. This includes participant names, the rental amount, and utility responsibilities. The lease creation process through TurboTenant allows for this information to be seamlessly integrated. The lease begins with a summary table to provide an overview, and subsequent sections elaborate on policies like smoking, utilities, and key management.
Key points in Section 1 include:
- Additional Provisions: Here, landlords can outline property-specific rules or local clauses. Legal counsel is recommended to review these additional provisions.
- Lost Key Policy: Tenants must shoulder the cost of rekeying if they fail to return all keys at the end of their tenancy.

Section 2 is aligned with Arizona law and editable with the use of our Advanced Editor feature. Please note that changes made to Sections 2 and 3 of our leases may bring you out of compliance with state and/or local laws and consulting with an attorney on any changes is always recommended. .
