Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about security deposit receipts
What is a security deposit receipt?
It is a written acknowledgment that a landlord or property manager received a specific security deposit amount from a tenant for a rental property.
What should the receipt include?
A useful receipt identifies the tenant, property address, security deposit amount, payment date and method, and the person receiving the funds.
Is this the same as a lease?
No. The receipt documents payment only. It does not replace the lease, a move-in condition statement, or disclosures required by state or local law.
Are security deposit rules the same everywhere?
No. Deposit limits, bank disclosures, interest, notices, and return deadlines vary by jurisdiction. Review the rules that apply to the rental property.
