New York: could not check
Could not check, New York. Checked: the New York landlord measures we track, on the Assembly’s pages, Nov 6, 2026. None is signed, and none has reached the governor. Not checked: New York’s full list of 2026 laws. The Senate’s site refuses our reads and our key to the state’s legislative data is not issued yet, so a law signed in 2026 outside what we track would not show here. This line stands where All clear would until that list answers.
Days to return the deposit, in eight states
New York: 14 days, itemized, or the landlord forfeits any right to keep any of it. Willful violation: punitive damages up to twice the deposit.
Checked Nov 5, 2026, at each state’s own statute text.
Checked as of Nov 6, 2026
The New York landlord measures we track, read on the Assembly’s pages on Nov 6, 2026: none is signed, and none has reached the governor. Not checked: New York’s full list of 2026 laws, regulations, court rules and forms, local ordinances. Missed one? Write to hello@landlorddispatch.com.
A New York rental? The issue carries the old rule, every other week, and this line until the state’s list answers.
