Frequently Asked Questions
Landlord-Tenant FAQ
Security deposit limits vary by state. Most states cap deposits at 1–2 months' rent. California limits are 2 months' rent (unfurnished) or 3 months' (furnished). Massachusetts caps at 1 month. Texas has no statutory limit. Landlords must typically return deposits within 14–30 days of move-out.
Eviction timelines range from 3 weeks (Texas, Arkansas) to 6+ months (New York, California). A typical uncontested eviction takes 30–45 days from notice to lockout. Court filing fees range from $30–$300.
Notice periods depend on the reason. Non-payment notice is typically 3–14 days. Lease violation notice is usually 7–30 days with a chance to cure. No-cause termination ranges from 30 days (most states) to 90 days (rent-controlled jurisdictions).
Statutory penalties range from 1x to 3x the deposit amount, plus attorney fees. Massachusetts allows 3x damages. California permits up to 2x damages plus actual loss. Many states require itemized deduction statements within 14–30 days.
