How long does the Arizona Residential Resale contract allow for an inspection period?

The "boilerplate" language in the standard Arizona Residential Resale contract allows for a 10 day inspection period. (FYI, Commercial transactions typically have a 30 day "inspection period") However, there is an area in the boilerplate language where a longer or shorter inspection period can be written into the contract.

As with any other contract provision, the terms must be agreed to by all the parties involved. So if a buyer requests a 15 day inspection period, the seller has the right to decline the offer, accept it with the 15 day inspection period, or counter the offer with changed provisions.

Likewise, just because the boilerplate language has a 10 day inspection period, that doesn't mean that any party is required to accept that boilerplate language.
