New York· Answer
Must a New York landlord provide an itemized statement of deductions?
Short answer
Yes. If the landlord withholds any portion of the deposit, New York requires a written itemized statement listing each deduction and its amount within 14 days of move-out, under GOL 7-108(1-a)(e). Receipt at deposit collection required (GOL 7-103)

Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on GOL 7-108(1-a)(e) as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a New York-licensed attorney.
