Security deposits for landlords: deductions, deadlines, and returns

One $1,800 deposit followed from collection to a $1,126 itemized refund: what you can deduct, when you must return it, and how to prove it.

Holding & returning

The deposit's whole life: collecting it, holding it right, and giving it back with a letter.

Deductions & disputes

Wear and tear vs damage, what you can charge for, and the paper trail when it's contested.

State deposit laws

Caps, deadlines, and penalties, state by state, with the statute cited.
