About Landlord Tools
What this site is
Landlord Tools is a small, independent set of free calculators and document generators for landlords — especially the millions of individual "mom-and-pop" owners in the United States who manage one or a handful of rental units themselves. We build the specific, practical tools those owners reach for around move-out and rent day: a security deposit return calculator, an itemized deduction letter generator, move-in and move-out condition checklists, a prorated rent calculator, a late fee calculator, and a rent receipt generator.
How we approach the information
Our state-by-state pages summarize publicly available landlord-tenant statutes — deposit caps, refund deadlines, interest requirements, and penalties — and cite the underlying statute for each state so you can verify it yourself. We review this information periodically, but laws change and local ordinances can be stricter, so we present it as a well-sourced starting point rather than the last word. Everything on the site is general information and self-help tooling, not legal advice.
How it stays free
The calculators run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded or stored on our servers. To cover hosting and keep the tools free, the site may show advertising and use privacy-respecting analytics. You control non-essential cookies through the consent banner and our Cookie Policy.
