Most states set a limit on the amount of security deposit landlords can charge. If your state has a “no statutory limit” entry, it means that the state does not cap the amount landlords can charge.

State laws are often quite specific as to deadlines for returning security deposits.

To read the text of the laws themselves, search online for “[your state]’s statutes.”

Many state legislatures have the entire text of statutes on their homepage.

Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute also maintains a state law resources page that contains the text of most states’ statutes.

Be sure to review the most recent versions, as statutes change often. Also, be sure to check state and local rent control or rent regulation rules for deposit limits.
