14 days to return the deposit; cap 2 months' rent.
If there are no deductions, the deposit is due within 14 days; with deductions, the landlord has 30 days to provide an itemized statement and the balance. Deposits are capped at two months' rent.
What this means for you: Bad-faith retention can cost the landlord double the deposit.
Your next step: Provide a forwarding address; send a demand letter if the deadline passes.
