Return security deposit with itemized statement within 21 days of move-out. Minnesota law requires returning the deposit with 1 percent annual interest, or giving the tenant a written statement of the specific reasons for keeping any of it, within 21 days after the tenancy ends and the tenant provides a mailing address or delivery instructions, and missing the deadline can cost the withheld amount plus an equal penalty, with up to $500 more if a court finds bad faith.
