Return the security deposit or itemized deductions within 14 days of lease end. Within 14 days after the rental agreement ends, return the full deposit or send the tenant a written list of deductions with receipts or estimates plus any remaining balance, because a landlord who misses the deadline loses the right to keep any of it and a court may award three times the amount wrongfully and willfully withheld.
