Your situation, stage by stage

WHERE YOU ARE

Pick the situation that is yours and put in each date once, on the stage it belongs to. The page shows the stage you are at and the period the statutes set after it, with whose period it is and the section it comes from. It says what the law sets, never what to do about it.

All of it runs in this browser. The dates are the same ones Your clock and your case file hold, and nothing you type is sent anywhere. What this site records.

Which situation is yours

The itemized statement after the tenant leaves, and the documents behind it once asked for.

  1. Stage 1 · What the statutes set next

    The landlord's itemized deposit statement

    Period
    21 calendar days
    From
    The tenant vacating
    Whose
    The landlord

    By then the landlord furnishes an itemized statement of the basis for and amount of any security received and what was done with it, and returns the rest.

  2. Stage 2 · Later in the statutes

    Asking for the receipts behind the deductions

    Period
    14 calendar days
    From
    Receiving the itemized statement
    Whose
    The tenant

    A tenant who asks within this period is still owed the documents supporting the deductions, even where the landlord was not otherwise required to include them.

What the law asks of each side between them, a step at a time: The 21 Days

A date put in here is the same date on Your clock and in your case file, and Add to calendar puts it in your own calendar with reminders. It stays in this browser.

Every stage here is a period on the clock. A situation that is not listed may still have its periods there, and Your clock counts any one of them from a date.
