Arizona Standard Residential Lease Agreement

An Arizona standard residential lease agreement establishes the terms and conditions between a landlord and a tenant for the rental of a residential property. Termination clauses are integral to the lease, specifying the circumstances under which either party can end the agreement. This includes the required notice period and any associated fees for early termination by the tenant.
