Anthony Walters was charged in relation to an arson attack at a house in Hill Top Mount, Harehills, on Wednesday, February 24.
Firefighters had to rescue a mother and her two children through an upstairs window after a fire broke out in the early hours.
Police last week issued an appeal to trace a taxi driver who may have witnessed the incident.
Walters, 33, of Beckett Road, Wheatley Park, will appear before Leeds Magistrates' Court today.
