Indiana security deposit law: the 45-day deadline and your rights
Deposit plus itemized written notice of deductions due within 45 days after termination — and the clock effectively runs only once the tenant supplies a mailing address in writing.
What Indiana law says
- Return deadline
- 45 days
- Statute
- Ind. Code §§ 32-31-3-12 to 32-31-3-15
No statutory multiplier: the remedy is total forfeiture of deductions — the tenant recovers all of the deposit due plus reasonable attorney's fees (§ 32-31-3-12(b)). The deterrent is fee-shifting plus the § 32-31-3-15 deemed agreement that no damages are due.
