Landlord & Tenant Laws in Connecticut.

Connecticut ties the final deadline to the later of 30 days after termination of the tenancy or 15 days after the landlord receives the tenant's forwarding address.

In Connecticut, a landlord generally must return the security deposit, with any required accrued interest, within 30 days after the tenancy terminates or within 15 days after receiving the tenant's forwarding address, whichever is later.

If a landlord fails to return the deposit as required, Connecticut law may allow the tenant to recover twice the amount of the security deposit, together with accrued interest, in the right case.
