In New York, the law is unusually strong about giving it back on a clock, and it punishes landlords who ignore that clock. If you know two numbers, you know most of what protects you.</p> <p><strong>TL;DR:</strong> A New York landlord can charge at most 1 month&rsquo;s rent as a deposit. After you move out, they have 14 days to send an itemized statement and return the balance. Miss that deadline and the landlord forfeits any right to keep deductions, so you get the full deposit back.</p>
