A landlord cannot require a tenant to pay more than one and one-half month's rent for security deposits. The purpose of all nonrefundable deposits must be stated in writing by the landlord and are refundable if not otherwise noted. Any refundable security deposits may be applied to the payment of rent and all charges specified in the signed lease agreement. Upon request, the tenant will be notified when the move-out inspection will occur and may be present. After the tenant's move out date, the landlord has 14 days to itemize the deductions and deliver to the tenant, together with the amount due, any security deposits. (A.R.S. § 33-1321)
