Return security deposit with itemized notice within 60 days of move-out. Arkansas Code 18-16-305 requires returning the deposit within 60 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant gives back possession, less unpaid rent and damages listed in a written itemized notice, and mailing the notice and any refund first-class to the tenant's last known address counts as delivery, so send it certified with return receipt to prove the date, since wrongful withholding can cost twice the amount withheld plus attorney's fees (individual owners of five or fewer units without a paid manager are exempt, but following these steps is still wise).
