After the tenant vacates and the rental agreement terminates, the landlord generally has 20 days to provide a written itemization of deductions and return any remaining security deposit balance.

In Delaware, a landlord generally must provide an itemized list of deductions and return any remaining security deposit within 20 days after the tenant vacates and the rental agreement terminates.
