Verified on 2026-08-18 — 1 day ago.

New York caps a residential security deposit at one month's rent and requires return with an itemized statement within 14 days after the tenant vacates.

The cap applies statewide. Keep the deposit in trust, provide the required pre-move-out inspection opportunity, and document deductions rather than treating the deposit as the final month's rent.

In effect since 2019-07-14.
