Flexible path to buying a home: A lease option could be a suitable alternative if you aspire to become a homeowner but can't quite afford it just yet. Using this type of contract, you get a little more time to potentially save toward the down payment or work to improve your credit.
For example, a tenant and landlord may agree to a five-year lease with a five-year option to renew. At the end of the first five years, the tenant is given the chance to continue the lease for another five years. If you think you may renew, be sure to bring up extension provisions with your landlord.
Typically, a document that includes an offer, acceptance, and appropriate consideration will be considered legally binding. In most cases, a contract is binding in Arizona even if the parties signed it in another state.
There are many reasons why a Landlord and Tenant may choose to include an “option” in a commercial lease. The most common type of option is one that gives the Tenant the right to extend the lease term, usually for additional — sometimes two or more — terms of equal length to the original term.
In Arizona, your tenant will have to provide you with a written notice letter, and the time they have to do it will depend on the type of lease. Monthly Lease - 30 days or more. Weekly Lease - 10 days or more.
No, lease agreements don't have to be notarized in Arizona. A lease can be notarized if the tenant and landlord want it to be. It is not, however, required by law for the rental agreement to be legally binding.
Answer: As a general rule, the answer is yes. Under the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, a verbal rental agreement concerning the use and occupancy of a dwelling unit is just as enforceable as a written rental agreement (or lease) is (A.R.S. 33-1310(13)).
Verbal agreements can be considered legal contracts and will stand up in court so long as they do not fall under the statute of frauds A.R.S. Section 44-101.
