Frequently Asked Questions
How long does my landlord have to return my deposit?
It varies by state: California has 21 days, Washington 30 days, Arizona 14 business days (after tenant demand), New York 14 days, Florida 15 days if no claim or 30 days to send a claim notice, Texas 30 days after you provide a forwarding address, and Colorado 30 days (or 60 if stated in the lease). Use our deadline calculator to check your specific situation.
What happens if my landlord misses the deadline?
In many states, missing the deadline means the landlord forfeits their right to keep any of the deposit. You may also be entitled to penalties — California allows up to 2x, Texas allows $100 plus 3x.
