A deadline and an itemization rule are different questions
A landlord can meet a return deadline but still raise a separate documentation question if the state requires a particular itemized statement, receipt, invoice, estimate or damage list. Review both the timing and the contents of the accounting.

- Deposit accounting or withholding statement.
- Envelope, email or portal timestamp.
- Receipts, invoices, estimates and work orders.
- Move-in and move-out photos or inspection records.
- Written requests for supporting documents and proof of delivery.
Educational information only. A state rule, company charge sheet or invoice does not by itself decide an individual dispute. The exact lease, condition, dates, evidence and local rules can change the result.
