Measured after the tenant vacates the premises.
The statute says failure to provide the statement and deposit within 14 days forfeits the right to retain any portion.
The Attorney General distinguishes the 14-day rule for non-rent-regulated units; special rules can apply elsewhere.
14-day deposit deadline
For a covered unit, enter the date you vacated. The tool adds 14 calendar days.

New York has rent-regulated and non-regulated housing. The Attorney General specifically describes the 14-day return framework for non-rent-regulated units, so confirm the unit’s status before relying on a general deadline summary.
