New York Real Property Law Section 7-108, enacted via the 2019 Housing Stability and Tenant Protection Act, caps residential security deposits at one month rent statewide, including Suffolk County. Landlords must return deposits within 14 days with an itemized statement of any deductions.
The 2019 HSTPA amended General Obligations Law Section 7-108 to cap security deposits at one month rent for any residential tenancy in New York, including Suffolk County rentals. Landlords must offer a pre-move-in inspection, return the deposit within 14 days of move-out, and provide an itemized list of deductions for damage beyond ordinary wear and tear. Failure to return the deposit on time forfeits the landlord right to retain any portion. The cap applies whether the unit sits in Brookhaven, the Hamptons, or a North Fork village. Manufactured-home parks regulated under Suffolk County Real Property Tax provisions follow the same cap.
Withholding more than one month rent as a deposit, missing the 14-day return window, or failing to provide an itemized deduction list voids the landlord ability to keep any portion and exposes them to treble-damages claims.
