Mississippi: deposit (or itemized deductions) due within 45 days.
Add your move-out date to see the deadline.
- The 45 days start only after the tenancy has ended, you have handed back possession, and you have asked the landlord for the deposit. Ask in writing so you can prove the date.
- If the landlord keeps any part, they must give you written notice itemizing the amounts. Keeping the deposit in bad faith can add up to $200 in damages on top of your actual damages.
