Arizona Move-In Checklist & Condition Report
Arizona law addresses move-in condition documentation (A.R.S. § 33-1321(C)). Do yours properly in minutes: walk the unit room by room, photos timestamped as you take them, and save a clean, signable PDF — then email it to the other party the same day.
What Arizona law says
At move-in, the landlord must furnish the tenant a signed copy of the lease and a move-in form for specifying existing damage, and must notify the tenant of the right to be present at the move-out inspection. (A.R.S. § 33-1321(C).) Statutes change and details matter — read the current text before relying on it, and get legal advice for your specific situation.
Timestamped photos
Each photo is stamped when you take it and embeds in the report — dated proof of what existed at move-in.
One-tap e-sign
Optional electronic signatures for tenant and landlord, or print and sign on paper.
Email it the same day
A pre-written email sends it to the other party — a dated copy in both inboxes is what wins deposit disputes.
