Field notes
The calculator requests a state, monthly rent, deposit amount, move-in and move-out dates, and an interest rate; the page says it autofills that rate where state law sets one. State pages link figures to statutes and address caps, deadlines, interest requirements, and bad-faith penalties. Other listed resources include a demand-letter template, an interactive room-by-room checklist, and a step-by-step deposit-return guide.
