Deposit deadline calculator / Connecticut

Connecticut security deposit return deadline calculator

In Connecticut, the landlord has 21 days to return your security deposit or send an itemized list of deductions (Conn. Gen. Stat. 47a-21(a), (b), (d), (h), (i); 47a-4(a)(4); 47a-4d(b)). Enter your move-out date to get the exact date.

Connecticut: deposit (or itemized deductions) due within 21 days.

Add your move-out date to see the deadline.

  • The refund is due by the later of 21 days after the tenancy ends or 15 days after the landlord receives your forwarding address in writing, so give it in writing.
  • If the landlord misses the deadline, they owe twice the deposit.
