How long do you keep file on former tenants?

Once a tenant moves out and you rent the property to a new tenant, how long do you keep your file on the former tenant?  By file, I mean the former tenant's application, correspondence, payment history, and disposition of deposit.  Is one year long enough?

I'm in AZ if the state matters.

Thanks,

John
