When must a landlord in Arizona return the security deposit?

Deadline: 14 business days after move out

Return security deposit with itemized statement within 14 business days of move-out. Arizona law (ARS 33-1321) requires mailing the tenant an itemized list of deductions and any amount due within 14 business days after the tenancy ends, possession is returned, and the tenant asks for the deposit, by first-class mail to the tenant's last known place of residence unless the tenant arranges otherwise in writing, and missing it lets the tenant recover the amount due plus damages of twice the amount wrongfully withheld.
