Rental Application in Arizona

A rental application that collects what landlords commonly ask for. Follow your state's limits on application fees and fair-housing rules: ask every applicant the same questions.

What Arizona law says

Application / screening fees	No statute caps or bans rental application or screening fees, and no statute requires portable screening reports. The only general rule is that the landlord must state in writing the purpose of any nonrefundable fee or deposit, and any fee or deposit not designated nonrefundable is refundable. Two application-fee bills were introduced but do not appear in the current A.R.S. section list for Chapter 10 (no § 33-1320 or § 33-1322.01): HB 2243 (2026; proposed § 33-1320, fees capped at actual cost) and SB 1580 (2025). Nothing indicates either was enacted. Re-verified 2026-10-27. Source: A.R.S. § 33-1321(B); A.R.S. Title 33, Ch. 10 (§§ 33-1301 to 33-1381) checked
Statewide ban on refusing Section 8 / source of income	No. Arizona has no statewide ban on source-of-income discrimination. The state fair housing act protects race, color, religion, sex, familial status, and national origin (and disability under separate sections), but not source of income or voucher use. Some cities (e.g., Phoenix, Tucson) have local source-of-income ordinances. Re-verified 2026-10-27. Source: A.R.S. § 41-1491.14
