Arizona · A.R.S. §§33-1806.01, 33-1260.01Arizona HOA rental rules: what the association can ask a landlord-owner
In an Arizona planned community, a member may use the property as a rental unless the declaration prohibits it, and must follow the declaration's rental time-period restrictions (A.R.S. §33-1806.01(A)). The member may designate an agent in writing for association matters on the rental, except voting and serving on the board, and notice to that agent is notice to the member (§33-1806.01(B)). Whatever the community documents say, the association may require only the names and contact information of adult occupants, the lease's beginning and ending dates, and a description and license plates of the tenants' vehicles; an age-restricted community may also require photo ID confirming the tenant meets the age rule (§33-1806.01(C)). For those disclosures, the managing agent or association may charge no more than $25 per new tenancy, not per renewal, and apart from that fee and recreational-facility fees it may not charge rental property differently from owner-occupied property (§33-1806.01(D)). The association may not require the rental application, credit report or lease, may not make tenants sign due-process waivers, may not bar non-occupant owners from the board, and may not charge more than $15 for late or incomplete tenant information; an overcharge voids the fee (§33-1806.01(E)–(F)). The same rules apply to condominium unit owners under §33-1260.01.
