New York Law Is On Your Side
Under NY General Obligations Law 7-108, your landlord must return your deposit within 14 days if they are not claiming deductions, or send an itemized claim within 14 days if they are.
If they miss these deadlines, they forfeit the right to claim deductions. If they act in bad faith, you may be entitled to double damages.
