Arizona Security Deposit Demand Letter

An Arizona security deposit demand letter is a letter sent by a tenant to a landlord when the landlord fails to return the security deposit paid at the beginning of the lease term. Landlords often ask the tenant to make a security deposit of one and a half month's rent (maximum), which is returned upon termination or expiration of the lease.
