Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 33-1413.02
Guest fee
Operative Text
The rental agreement may provide that the landlord may charge a guest fee.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1413.02, Arizona law permits a rental agreement to include a provision allowing a landlord to charge a fee for guests. This rule does not require such a fee to be included, nor does it set a specific amount or cap — it simply authorizes the practice when the parties have agreed to it in writing. The fee is only enforceable if it is actually stated in the rental agreement itself.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under A.R.S. § 33-1413.02, operators who wish to charge a guest fee should ensure that the fee is clearly and explicitly stated in the written rental agreement before it is signed. Compliant landlords typically specify the conditions that trigger the fee, the amount charged, and how it is assessed, so that tenants have full notice at the outset of the tenancy. Without that written agreement language, the fee generally has no legal basis under this provision.

A.R.S. § 33-1413.02 means that a landlord can only charge you a guest fee if that fee is expressly included in your rental agreement — it cannot be imposed unilaterally after the fact. Tenants who believe they are being charged a guest fee that was never part of their written agreement may have grounds to dispute the charge, and can look into contacting a local tenant-rights organization or Arizona's courts for guidance on their options. Reviewing your rental agreement carefully before signing is one way to understand whether a guest fee applies to your tenancy.
