Mississippi · operator pain
The move-out where the unit was not quite vacant and the clock never started clean
Mississippi ties return timing to termination and delivery of possession. Operators start the timer on lease end while furniture remains.
- Wizard default
- 45 days from surrender (Deposit Desk)
- Label
- Miss. Code § 89-8-21
What goes wrong
- Keys on the counter but tenant gear still in the bedroom.
- No photos of vacant unit at surrender.
- 45-day math started on the wrong date.
Fix: Log the date the unit was actually vacant and keys returned. Deposit Desk uses that surrender date for the 45-day default.
