There is no legal cap. Most Arizona landlords charge $25 to $50 to cover credit and background screening, and the fee is usually nonrefundable. Arizona law does not require a receipt for an application fee.

No more than one and one-half months' rent under § 33-1321(A). Separately labeled nonrefundable fees (like a cleaning or pet fee) do not count toward that limit, but they must be stated as nonrefundable in writing or they are refundable.

Fourteen days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after you move out and request the return, along with an itemized list of any deductions (§ 33-1321(D)). If the landlord wrongfully keeps part of it, you can recover twice the amount wrongfully withheld.

There is no statewide source-of-income protection, so outside of a local rule a landlord may decline a voucher. However, Phoenix and Tucson have adopted source-of-income ordinances, so within those cities a landlord cannot reject you just for paying with a voucher or other lawful income.

At move-in you can ask the landlord for a signed statement of the unit's existing condition, and you have the right to be present when the landlord inspects at move-out (§ 33-1321(C)). Documenting existing wear up front makes it much harder to be charged for damage you did not cause.
