Return security deposit with itemized statement within 30 days of move-out. Missouri law (RSMo 535.300) requires giving the tenant reasonable written notice of the move-out inspection date and time, then within 30 days after the tenancy ends returning the full deposit or sending a written itemized list of damages with the remaining balance (mailing it to the last known address counts), and a tenant can recover twice any amount wrongfully withheld.
