Return security deposit with itemized statement within 14 days of move-out. New York landlords must return the security deposit within 14 days after the tenant moves out, with a written itemized statement of any amount kept for unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear and tear, utility charges owed to the landlord, or moving and storing the tenant's belongings, and missing the deadline forfeits the right to keep any part of it, so send it by certified mail with a return receipt to prove the date.
