Look up max deposit limits & return deadlines for your state, then calculate deductions and generate a refund summary.
When you're ready to manage real properties, these Rentlane features pick up where the calculator stops — all included in the $9/mo plan.
Limits vary by state — some cap it at one month's rent, others allow up to two months, and a handful have no cap. The calculator looks up your state's statutory limit and flags amounts that exceed it.
Return deadlines range from 14 to 60 days depending on the state, and many states require an itemized list of deductions. The calculator returns the exact deadline and citation source for your state.
Generally: unpaid rent, late fees, damage beyond normal wear and tear, and cleaning costs that exceed normal turnover. Normal wear (worn carpet from years of use, faded paint) is not deductible.
Several states require security deposits to be held in a separate interest-bearing account, with interest paid back to the tenant. The calculator notes which states require this when you select yours.
