New Requirements Regarding Residential Security Deposits

On May 16, 2018, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed into law House Bill 2651 limiting the amount of time a tenant has to dispute any amounts being deducted from the tenant’s security deposit upon move-out.  Under existing provisions of the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act the landlord must send the tenant an itemized list of all deductions and any amounts due and payable to the tenant from the security deposit within 14 business days of termination of the tenancy. The new provision requires that the tenant must dispute those deductions within 60 days after the date the itemized list is mailed or be deemed to have waived their rights to any further claims regarding the security deposit. The new law gives the landlord a date certain after which the landlord can use those funds without fear of subsequent claims from the tenant.
