In Arizona, commercial landlords have the right to increase the rent for holdover tenants (tenants remaining in the premises after the expiration of the lease). The increased monthly rental usually falls somewhere between 1 1/2 and 2 times the original lease rate. This compensates the landlord for its costs incurred by the tenant's failure to surrender the premises, while encouraging the tenant to renegotiate a renewal or extension before the end of the lease term. It also acts as a deterrent against any lengthy holdover stay by the tenant.
