Security Deposit Compliance
15-state rules. Automatic alerts. Zero missed deadlines.
One missed deposit return deadline can cost you a lawsuit. LotKeeper knows the rules for 15 states — including MHP-specific overrides — and alerts you at 60, 30, and 7 days before anything slips. Interest calculations, itemized statement PDFs, and a full compliance dashboard.
The rules are built in — you don’t have to look them up
TX, FL, CA, NY, NC, AZ, IN, OH, MI, PA, GA, SC, CO, WA, and MN — each with different return deadlines, interest requirements, maximum amounts, and allowable deductions. MHP-specific overrides handle cases where manufactured housing has different rules than traditional rentals. You pick the state; LotKeeper enforces the rules.
Alerts before deadlines, not after lawsuits
Every deposit is checked daily. You get alerts at 60, 30, and 7 days before a return deadline — and again if one expires. Monthly interest calculation runs automatically for states that require it. Abandoned deposits are flagged for escheatment.
Itemized statements ready to send
Enter deductions with categories, amounts, and receipt uploads. The depreciation calculator handles wear-and-tear adjustments. Itemized statement PDFs generate with deductions, interest earned, and net refund amount — ready to send to the resident.
