A landlord may use a tenant’s security deposit to pay a tenant’s unpaid rent or to fix damage and clean the unit when the condition exceeds normal wear and tear. Most states require the landlord to return the deposit and provide the tenant with an itemized list of deductions within 14 to 60 days from the date that the tenant moved out.
