Arizona landlords must return security deposits within:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
7 days
7 days is too short a timeframe and does not match Arizona's statutory requirement. This option might confuse the timeline with other states' requirements or general business practices.
14 days
30 days
30 days exceeds Arizona's statutory requirement. While some states have longer timelines, Arizona specifically mandates 14 business days, not 30 calendar days.
60 days
60 days significantly exceeds Arizona's requirement and might reflect timelines for other processes like eviction rather than security deposit returns.
