Connecticut security deposit itemization
A Connecticut landlord must send the itemized statement within 21 days after move-out or 15 after receiving the tenant's forwarding address, whichever is later. Miss it and the tenant can sue for the penalty. The generator checks the deadline, the delivery method and the documentation as you fill it in.

What Connecticut requires
- Deadline
- 21 days after the tenancy ends, or 15 days after receiving the forwarding address, whichever is later.
- Delivery
- Mail to the forwarding address the tenant supplied.
- If it is late
- Twice the security deposit paid; if the only failure is the accrued interest, the greater of $10 or twice the interest.
- Deposit account
- The whole deposit goes straight into one or more escrow accounts at a financial institution, held for each tenant's benefit.
- Interest
- Accrued interest is owed with the refund.
- Statute
- Conn. Gen. Stat. § 47a-21
What goes on the statement
The deposit and the date it was received, each deduction with a specific description and amount, the total withheld, and the refund or balance owed. Connecticut landlords also record how and when the statement was sent, because the deadline is measured to that date. Damage lines should say what was damaged and how, not just a room name: a tenant, and a judge, can tell a burn mark from carpet wear.
Interest, a separate deposit account, receipts, photographs and a sworn attestation are only required in some states. The generator shows the fields Connecticut needs and leaves out the ones it does not.
