Your landlord generally has 45 days in Indiana to mail an itemized list of damages and return the balance of your security deposit. DepositsBack.app helps you take the next step: a state-specific security deposit notice sent by USPS Certified Mail, with tracking that stays attached to your case. This page summarizes general information from Indiana Code § 32-31-3-12 and official state sources.
The general deadline is 45 days. Landlords must mail an itemized list of damages and return the balance of the security deposit within 45 days after the tenant moves out.
You may still be able to send a notice. We show general state information and official sources so you can review your situation and decide your next step.
The Complete Case Bundle includes your notices, USPS Certified Mail history, case summary, evidence checklist, attorney handoff sheet, and official state resources — all in one downloadable ZIP.
If the 45-day deadline passes without a mailed itemized list and return of your balance, your records — DepositsBack.app notice, USPS Certified Mail delivery confirmation, and any response uploaded to your case — document the timeline. Under Indiana Code § 32-31-3-12 and § 32-31-3-15, a landlord who fails to provide the itemized list may lose any claim against the deposit, and a tenant may recover the deposit plus reasonable attorney fees; Indiana small-claims court generally hears disputes up to $10,000. You can review your situation alongside the statute and official state resources, and decide whether to consult an Indiana attorney or proceed with self-help next steps.
