Your landlord in Kentucky generally must provide an itemized statement of any deductions and return the balance of your security deposit about 30 days after you move out, with a separate 60-day window before an unclaimed deposit may be kept. 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 Kentucky Revised Statutes § 383.580 and official state sources.
The general deadline is 30 days. Landlords must provide an itemized statement of any deductions and return the balance about 30 days after the tenant moves out; a separate 60-day window applies before an unclaimed deposit may be retained.
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 your landlord does not account for the deposit or return the balance, your records — DepositsBack.app notice, USPS Certified Mail delivery confirmation, and any response uploaded to your case — document the timeline. Under Kentucky Revised Statutes § 383.580, a landlord who fails to follow the required procedure can forfeit the right to withhold any part of the deposit and may lose the ability to sue for damages; Kentucky small-claims court generally hears disputes up to $2,500. Some of these rules apply only where the URLTA has been adopted locally, so review your situation alongside the statute and official state resources, and decide whether to consult a Kentucky attorney or proceed with self-help next steps.
