Deposit14 Clear — NY GOL §7-108 / §7-107 Itemized Disposition Deadline Desk

New York residential property management — security deposit disposition compliance

Audience

New York residential property managers and owners (80–800 doors) running move-out security-deposit dispositions

Problem

A New York landlord must return the deposit balance and deliver a written itemized statement within 14 days of vacatur, or forfeit the right to retain any portion — even for real, photographed, invoiced damage. Late vendor invoices, photos scattered across chat threads, and summer PTO make the clock fail exactly when turnover peaks.

Offer

With Deposit14 Clear, property managers stop assembling itemized statements by hand and get a landlord-ready Itemized Disposition Pack — deduction lines mapped to photo and invoice evidence, an interest note where required, a Day-14 countdown, and a delivery-proof checklist — reviewed by a deposit analyst and ready to approve and send.

Operating process

[
  {
    "body": "Drop the signed lease, the deposit ledger export, move-in and move-out photos, vendor invoices or estimates, and the forwarding address into one secure folder. The 14-day countdown starts from your confirmed vacate date.",
    "title": "Send the vacate file"
  },
  {
    "body": "Documents are normalized, photos time-sorted, and each intended deduction line matched to its supporting photo and vendor invoice. Missing evidence is flagged on a chase list, not guessed.",
    "title": "We assemble the pack"
  },
  {
    "body": "An analyst checks wear-and-tear vs. damage language, confirms the line math against invoices, computes the interest note for 6+ unit buildings, and routes any legal-edge file to a counsel referral.",
    "title": "A deposit analyst reviews"
  },
  {
    "body": "You approve the deductions, send the itemized statement and refund, and log the delivery proof. You remain the statutory actor — we never send on your behalf.",
    "title": "You approve and send"
  },
  {
    "body": "The full pack — deduction lines, evidence matrix, interest note, and delivery-proof entry — is retained as the record if the tenant ever disputes.",
    "title": "Close and keep the record"
  }
