The Oregon deadline
Oregon law provides for the deposit's return within 31 days of tenancy ending — see ORS 90.300. Send the itemized statement on or before that deadline. Miss it, or send a vague lump sum instead of an itemized list, and many states let the tenant recover the withheld amount plus additional damages. Emailing or mailing the letter creates a dated record that you met the deadline.
Cites Oregon in the letter
The finished statement references the Oregon return deadline and citation automatically.
Itemized, with the math done
Each deduction on its own line; the refund (or balance owed) is calculated for you.
Proof you sent it on time
Email the letter and the timestamp documents delivery before the Oregon deadline.
Questions
How long does a landlord have to return a deposit in Oregon?
Generally within 31 days of tenancy ending (ORS 90.300), together with an itemized statement of any deductions. Missing the deadline can forfeit the right to withhold. Confirm the current statute for your situation.
Do deductions have to be itemized?
Yes — an itemized statement listing each deduction, not a lump sum. This tool lists each on its own line and does the refund math.
Is it really free?
Yes — free, no signup. It cites the Oregon deadline, itemizes deductions, and can email the PDF so the timestamp documents timely delivery.
