How Arizona security deposits work
Arizona caps the deposit at one and a half months' rent, but its return clock has two quirks worth knowing. First, the 14-day deadline excludes weekends and legal holidays, so it runs longer than a calendar fortnight. Second, the clock doesn't start until you actually demand your deposit back — termination and handing over the keys aren't enough on their own. Send a written demand with your forwarding address the day you leave.
