Your Rhode Island move-out, dated from notice to deposit.
Enter your lease end or the day you give notice. You get every step that matters, each with its date and the statute behind it: notice, the steps that start your landlord's clock, report day, keys, and the day the deposit is due.

Rhode Island makes this a precondition: “within twenty (20) days after the later of either termination of the tenancy, delivery of possession, or the tenant’s providing the landlord with a forwarding address for the purpose of receiving the security deposit.”. Send it on move-out day and keep proof of sending.

Small claims, if the demand goes unanswered
We haven't checked Rhode Island's small-claims limit yet. The date assumes the 10-day reply window housr suggests in the letter.
