New York City deposit interest and disposition planner

The 14-day clock from move-out, the itemized statement, and — for buildings with six or more units — the interest the deposit earned less the 1% administrative fee. Deductions are entered as claims and shown separately; the planner never labels one lawful, and disputed sums stay out of the arithmetic.

Buildings with six or more units: deposit held in an interest-bearing New York account; landlord may keep 1% a year as an administrative fee; interest paid or applied annually at the tenant's option (GOL §7-103 — FIXTURE · verify). The rate is the bank's, not a statutory figure: enter what the account actually paid. Tenant may choose annual payment or credit against rent (verify).

1Offer the move-out inspectionAfter notice to end: tell the tenant of the inspection right; hold it 1–2 weeks before the end on 48 hours' written notice; give an itemized statement of proposed deductions so they can cure (GOL §7-108).
2Itemized statement within 14 days of vacatingDate set once the tenant vacates. Each deduction listed; balance refunded with it.
3Missed the 14 days?The landlord forfeits the right to retain any part of the deposit; wilful violations can carry up to twice the deposit in punitive damages (GOL §7-108). Not a step; a consequence.
