- What is a move-out checklist?
- It records unit condition when the tenant surrenders possession. Use it alongside the move-in list before you send the deposit accounting. A security deposit generally may not exceed one month’s rent (R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-18-19). Hold it in a separate account. Unused deposit plus an itemized list is generally due within 20 days after the tenancy ends.
- When is the deposit due back in Rhode Island?
- Unused deposit money is generally due within 20 days after the tenancy ends, with an itemized list of lawful deductions (R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-18-19). Ask for a forwarding address in writing.

- No. The checklist documents condition. Itemization is the formal accounting that states what you kept from the deposit and why. You may need both.
