Arizona Criminal & credit history rules

Last reviewed 2026-10-16

Can a landlord deny a tenant for criminal or credit history in Arizona?

Arizona's Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (A.R.S. Title 33, ch. 10, §§ 33-1301 to 33-1381, read in full on 2026-10-16) sets no rules on screening applicants' criminal or credit history; federal fair-housing and FCRA rules still apply.
