For independent landlords & small property owners
Return a security deposit the right way
Free calculators and document generators for the moment a tenant moves out — built around each state's deadlines, interest rules, and penalties, so you don't have to dig through a statute.
01
Know your deadline
Every state sets a hard deadline to return a deposit or send an itemized statement — from 14 to 60 days after move-out. Miss it and you can forfeit the right to withhold anything.
02
Calculate the refund
Enter the deposit, deductions, and dates. The calculator applies your state's deadline and interest rules and shows exactly what's owed and by when.
03
Document it
Generate a clean, itemized PDF statement citing your state statute — the paper trail that protects you if a former tenant disputes a deduction.
Look up your state's deposit law
Deposit caps, refund deadlines, interest requirements, and penalties — summarized for all 50 states plus D.C.
