By now you probably know from personal experience, but I want to put the answer out there just in case. It depends on where you live, but I can tell you from firsthand experience in the state of Louisiana 2 things. 1) The landlord has 30 days from the time you vacate to either return your deposit or give you a detailed list of damages & receipts. If they don’t, you have grounds to sue. 2) In Louisiana the landlord has 1 year from the date you vacate & they notice damages to sue you. It’s pretty much the same in other states as well, but it can vary. This is for a suit regarding DAMAGES. However, they can try to get you on contract issues for up to 10 years. 10 years in the statute of limitations here.
