Settle a security deposit after move-out (rendered as csv, paid)

US state, 2-letter code (e.g. 'CA'); a state name also works.

City, for a city overlay where covered (e.g. 'Chicago'). Optional.

Units in the building. Some interest rules depend on it (NY 6+, IL 25+).

Tenancy start (YYYY-MM-DD). Used for interest and, when an item's age is unknown, for depreciation.

When the tenancy actually ended (YYYY-MM-DD): the lease's end, or an earlier termination or accepted surrender. Deadlines that run from the end of the tenancy use it. For a tenant who left before the lease was due to end, send the scheduled end as lease_end_on (older callers sent it here, which still works: the deadline is then counted from it, with the move-out date as an earlier alternative where the facts point to one).

Day the lease was scheduled to end (YYYY-MM-DD), when it differs from when the tenancy actually ended (a broken lease). Lost rent and lease-break charges run to it; deadlines do not (they follow tenancy_ended_on, else the move-out, with the scheduled end as a later alternative).

Day the tenant moved out and returned possession (YYYY-MM-DD).

Day you received the tenant's written forwarding address (YYYY-MM-DD). Several states start or hold the clock on it (Texas, Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota).

False when the tenant never gave a forwarding address in writing (not just 'not yet known'). Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, South Carolina and New Hampshire then relieve the landlord of the penalty. Implied true by forwarding_address_received_on.

Day you received the tenant's demand for the deposit (YYYY-MM-DD; written in Oklahoma, by first-class mail in Maryland 8-203(h)). Arizona, Kansas, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Mississippi start the clock on it.

Day a new tenant moved in, if the unit was re-rented (YYYY-MM-DD). West Virginia and Wisconsin can end the period earlier; rent claimed for days from it on is not recoverable (re-rent mitigation).

Day you sent (or delivered) the itemized statement (YYYY-MM-DD). With it the statement is judged on time or late; documentation.itemized_statement alone cannot tell.

Day you sent the written notice of intent to impose a claim on the deposit (YYYY-MM-DD). Florida (due within 30 days of termination) and the District of Columbia (within 45 days): the balance is due 30 days after it; a late notice does not count.

Return period the lease sets, in days, where the statute lets a lease set one (Colorado up to 60, Idaho up to 30, Maine shorter).

A termination notice that meets the statute was given (Alaska: 14 days instead of 30 when nothing is deducted for damage).

Interest already paid or credited to the tenant up to this day (annual-payment rules: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Connecticut, Massachusetts, ...): interest is counted from it.

Wisconsin: the tenant signed a separate NONSTANDARD RENTAL PROVISIONS document covering the charge (ATCP 134.06(3)(b)); false makes such charges 'no'.

The tenant is 62 or older (Connecticut: a one-month cap).

A person 60 or older occupies the unit (New Hampshire 540-A:5, I: the owner-occupied exemption does not reach the unit). tenant_age_62_plus true implies it.

California AB 12 small landlord (a natural person or an LLC of natural persons owning at most two properties with at most four units; not for a service member): a two-month cap.

The landlord lives in the building (ME, NH, NJ and Chicago exempt small owner-occupied buildings; with building_units).

Rental units the landlord owns in all (Arkansas 5 or fewer, Georgia 10 or fewer, with third_party_managed, may be exempt).

A third party manages the unit or collects rent for a fee.

written_lease or at_will (Maine 6033(2): a written agreement's period, at most 30 days, or 21 days for a tenancy at will; Massachusetts 15B(4): at will, 30 days after the move-out, a written lease, 30 days after its end). Left out with a move-out before tenancy_ended_on: the earlier (at-will) date leads and the other is listed.

The tenant abandoned the unit or was evicted (Maryland 8-203(h): the clock runs from the tenant's written demand; Washington 59.18.280: from when the landlord learns of it; Louisiana 9:3251(C): the one-month rule does not apply). Left out: inferred from tenant_gave_proper_notice: false; with a move-out before tenancy_ended_on the earlier abandonment clock leads and the other date is listed.

Damage exceeds the deposit and needs a third-party contractor, and you said so in writing in time (Virginia, West Virginia: 15 more days).

Day the deposit was collected (YYYY-MM-DD); defaults to move_in_on. California (AB 12, from 2024-07-01) and Colorado caps depend on it.

Day the current lease was signed or last renewed (YYYY-MM-DD). Georgia (2024-07-01) and Maryland (2024-10-01) caps apply to leases from then; defaults to move_in_on, with a warning that a later renewal may bring the new cap.

Term of the lease in months (0 for month-to-month). Delaware's cap applies to leases of a year or more, New Mexico's to shorter ones.

The unit is rented furnished (California before AB 12: 3 months; Kansas: 1.5 months; Delaware: no cap).

The unit is covered by the city's rent ordinance (Los Angeles RSO, Berkeley Rent Ordinance). Their deposit interest is owed only then; unknown: the amount is shown beside the refund, not in it.

Today's date (YYYY-MM-DD) for the deadline status. Defaults to today (UTC); send it for repeatable results.
