When must a landlord in Indiana return the security deposit?

Deadline: 45 days after move out

Return security deposit with itemized statement within 45 days of move-out. Indiana law (IC 32-31-3-12 and IC 32-31-3-14) requires mailing an itemized written notice of any deductions, with the estimated repair cost for each damaged item and payment of any balance, within 45 days after the rental agreement ends and possession is returned, once the tenant has given a mailing address in writing; missing the deadline forfeits the landlord's right to keep any part of the deposit and exposes the landlord to the tenant's attorney fees.
