ARKANSAS SECURITY DEPOSIT RULES

Pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. Section 18-16-301 et seq., the following rules apply to security deposits in Arkansas:

Maximum Security Deposit Amount

Under Ark. Code Ann. Section 18-16-304, a landlord covered by the residential security-deposit subchapter may not demand or receive a security deposit exceeding two (2) months' periodic rent. Section 18-16-303 exempts dwelling units owned by an individual when the individual, spouse, minor children, and described affiliated entities collectively own five or fewer dwelling units. The exemption does not apply to units for which third persons perform management, including rent collection, for a fee.

Return of Security Deposit

Under Ark. Code Ann. Section 18-16-305(a)(1), property or money held as security must be returned within sixty (60) days after termination of the tenancy. If the landlord applies money to accrued unpaid rent or damages, subsection (a)(2) requires the itemized notice and remainder within sixty (60) days after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession by the tenant.

Permissible Deductions

The landlord may deduct from the security deposit:

  • Accrued unpaid rent
  • Damages suffered by reason of the tenant's noncompliance with the rental agreement

Written Itemized Statement

If deductions are made, the landlord must provide a written itemized statement of the accrued unpaid rent and damages applied, delivered with the remainder within the subsection (a)(2) period stated above.

Method of Delivery

The landlord complies with the return requirement by mailing via first class mail the written notice and any payment to the tenant's last known address.

Unclaimed Deposits

If the letter containing the payment is returned and the landlord cannot locate the tenant after reasonable effort, the payment becomes the property of the landlord 180 days from the date the payment was mailed.

Disclosure Requirements

Ark. Code Ann. Section 18-17-502(c)(1) provides a compliance safe harbor when the landlord supplies, when possession is available, a written form on which the tenant may list defects in the quality standards enumerated in subsection (a), and the tenant signs without noting a listed defect or fails to return the form within two business days. The statute does not describe this as a mandatory “known defects” disclosure.

Non-Refundable Deposits

Property or money held as security is subject to § 18-16-305 when the subchapter applies. Do not label a charge “non-refundable,” a fee, prepaid rent, or a deposit without counsel reviewing its real purpose and the statutory phrase “security deposit, however denominated.”

Legal authority

  • Ark. Code Ann. § 18-16-304 (Security Deposit Maximum - Two Months' Rent)
  • Ark. Code Ann. § 18-16-305 (Security Deposit Return - 60-Day Requirement)
  • Ark. Code Ann. § 18-16-303 (Limited five-or-fewer-unit exemption and management exception)
  • Ark. Code Ann. § 18-17-502 (Implied residential quality standards and optional move-in defect form)

Real estate documents transfer ownership, define who can use a property, and record agreements between buyers, sellers, landlords, and tenants. Deeds, purchase agreements, leases, and easements have to be drafted to meet state recording requirements, and mistakes show up at closing or years later in title disputes. Good real estate paperwork moves transactions forward quickly and avoids the kind of problems that only surface when it is time to sell or refinance.

Not legal advice

This template is provided for informational purposes. We recommend having an attorney review any legal document before signing, especially for high-value or complex matters.

Checked against the law it cites

The statutes this template relies on are listed under Legal authority.

Ark. Code Ann. § 18-16-305(a)-(b) (Act 559 of 2009, § 1) (checked August 27, 2026): "Within sixty (60) days of termination of the tenancy, property or money held by the landlord as security shall be returned to the tenant. However, the money may be applied to the payment of accrued unpaid rent and any damages which the landlord has suffered by reason of the tenant's noncompliance with the rental agreement, all as itemized by the landlord in a written notice delivered to the tenant, together with the remainder of the amount due sixty (60) days after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession by the tenant."
