What Arizona law says

Late feesNo statutory cap or grace period. The fee must be reasonable and set out in a written rental agreement.
Notice for unpaid rent5-day written notice of nonpayment stating that the landlord will terminate the rental agreement if rent is not paid within that time. Before an eviction is filed, paying all past-due rent plus a reasonable late fee set in a written lease reinstates the agreement. After filing, reinstatement also requires paying attorney fees and court costs. After judgment, reinstatement is at the landlord's discretion.
