Security Deposit Receipt FAQ
Is a security deposit receipt required by law?
In many US states and countries, landlords are required to provide a receipt for security deposits — especially for cash payments. Some states require the receipt to include where the deposit is held and the bank account details. Check your local landlord-tenant laws.
What should a security deposit receipt include?
A security deposit receipt should include: tenant name, landlord name, property address, amount received, deposit type (security, pet, last month's rent), date received, payment method, where the deposit is held, and any applicable refund conditions.
Can a landlord keep the security deposit?
A landlord can deduct for unpaid rent, damage beyond normal wear and tear, or lease violations. They cannot deduct for normal wear and tear. An itemized deduction list is required in most states within the deposit return deadline.
How long does a landlord have to return the deposit?
Most US states require landlords to return the security deposit within 14–30 days of the tenant vacating. Failing to return the deposit on time can result in penalties of 2–3× the deposit amount in many jurisdictions.
